API Reference

Integrate Explorable Research into your applications with our REST API.

Introduction

The Explorable Research API allows you to programmatically access and manage your projects and data. All API endpoints require authentication using an API key.

Base URL

https://explorableresearch.com/api

Authentication

All API requests must include your API key in the x-api-key header.

Example request with authentication

curl -X GET "https://explorableresearch.com/api/projects" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Don't have an API key? Create one here.
