Explore the API with an AI agent
Our public MCP explorer lets an AI assistant read the API documentation, inspect response schemas, and make limited live requests without a key. Use it to understand and verify the API, then call the REST methods from your application with your own key.

How does the 14-day money-back guarantee work?
Subscribe, use everything, and if it is not a fit email us within 14 days of your first payment - we refund 100%, no questions asked. Details in the Terms.
Can my AI agent or LLM app use this API?
Yes. Use the public MCP explorer to let an agent read the documentation, inspect schemas, and make limited live requests without a key. Your application calls the REST API with its own key. Open the MCP explorer
