Quick Start

1. Get your API key

Sign up at studio.fintechstudios.com and create an API key from the Build zone. Test keys return real data without consuming credits.

2. Make your first search

curl -X POST "https://studio.fintechstudios.com/api/v1/search" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fts_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "SEC enforcement actions"}'

3. Generate an AI summary

curl -X POST "https://studio.fintechstudios.com/api/v1/summaries" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fts_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "Latest AI regulation developments"}'

4. JavaScript example

const response = await fetch("https://studio.fintechstudios.com/api/v1/search", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer fts_live_YOUR_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: "Federal Reserve interest rate decision",
    limit: 10,
  }),
});

const { data, meta } = await response.json();
console.log(`Found ${data.total} articles, ${meta.credits_remaining} credits remaining`);
