What should you check before integrating an API?

Reliability and uptime, security and authentication, documentation and developer experience, versioning and backward compatibility, transparent pricing, and responsive support.

How does Datpaq authenticate API requests?

Every Datpaq API uses a single bearer token (or x-api-key header) sent over HTTPS. Keys are created and rotated per project from the dashboard.

How is Datpaq priced?

Every Datpaq API has a free tier, the same transparent paid tiers apply across all APIs, and request limits are published, so there are no surprise overages.

What developer tools does Datpaq provide?

Copy-paste code samples, an OpenAPI 3.0 spec, an open-source CLI, a hosted MCP server, runnable sample apps, and per-endpoint documentation.
