Getting Started

Create a key, call a dataset endpoint, and inspect the credits returned in metadata.

First request

All public dataset APIs live under /api/v1 and require an API key.

curl https://apidatasets.com/api/v1/geo/zip/30303 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Browser demo mode

The hosted API tester can run safe sample scenarios without an API key. Demo routes are allowlisted, rate limited, unmetered, and marked with meta.demo=true. Production calls still use /api/v1 with your API key.

Response shape

Single-object responses include data.id, data.type, data.attributes, and meta.

{
  "data": {"id": "30303", "type": "geo_zip_profile", "attributes": {"city": "Atlanta"}},
  "meta": {"credits_used": 1}
