API

Read-only JSON API. All requests are GET; pass method and endpoint as query string. Two products, documented separately:

News API → - claim feed, claim detail, situation summary, entity graph.
Launches API → - platform-graduation feed (full + e-commerce), enrichment, LLM classification, geo heatmap.
Dev API → - GitHub repos gaining traction, board context + GitHub metadata for spotting new tech.

Conventions

Base URL: https://intelligence.flatnine.co/api
Error format: {"error": "<message>"} with HTTP 4xx/5xx; happy responses are 200.
Pagination: limit + offset for shallow paging; responses carry total where applicable. The launch feeds also return an opaque next_cursor - pass it back as cursor= for stable, efficient deep paging (keep filters and sort identical between pages; null means the last page).
Time: all timestamps are UTC.
Auth: data endpoints require an API key - send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>, X-API-Key: <key>, or ?api_key=<key>. The map/graph viz endpoints and the health ping are open. Missing/invalid key returns 401.
Rate limits: 60 req/min and 600 req/hr per IP (X-RateLimit-* headers; 429 + Retry-After over the cap).
