FAQ

Common questions

Do I need an API key?

No. GET /v1 and the CLI are public and read-only. Submitting a product or upvoting still requires a signed-in user.

Where is the OpenAPI spec?

/openapi.json and /api/openapi.yaml. Both are OpenAPI 3.1.

How do errors look?

RFC 9457 Problem Details as application/json with type, title, status, detail, code, hint, and retryable. Read hint before retrying. Every public /v1 response includes RateLimit headers; 429 also sends Retry-After.
