API documentation

Versioned REST API. JSON responses. Same data that powers this site — every row links back to a verified source.

Authentication

Pass your key in the X-API-Key header. Without a key requests still work, but with a lower rate limit.

curl https://ind-startup-funding.vercel.app/api/v1/startups \
  -H 'X-API-Key: ifk_your_key_here'

Rate limits

Tier	Limit	Headers
No key	30 / min	`X-RateLimit-Limit`, `-Remaining`, `-Reset`
With key	120 / min	Same headers; `429` on exhaustion.

Response envelope

All responses share the same shape:

{
  "data": <payload>,
  "meta": {
    "version": "1",
    "total": <number?>,
    "page":  <number?>,
    "limit": <number?>,
    "coverage_note": "Data complete from 2024-01-01 onwards (...)"
  }
}

Errors return { "error": { "message", "status" } }with the matching HTTP status.
