Getting started with the SaaS Browser API

The SaaS Browser API gives you programmatic access to our directory, so you can pull SaaS data straight into your own tools, CRM, or scripts. The full reference, with every endpoint and parameter, lives on the API documentation page.

Getting your API key

Sign in and open your account settings. In the "Your API Key" section, press "Generate new API Key". Your key is only shown once, so copy it somewhere safe straight away. If you lose it, simply generate a new one.

Generating a new key immediately stops the old one from working. It also disconnects any AI assistants you've connected through our MCP server, so you'll need to reconnect them afterwards.

Authenticating requests

Send your key in the Authorization header of each request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

You can also pass it as an api_key query parameter, but we recommend the header, because query strings are often recorded in proxy and browser logs.

What you can access

  • Public endpoints, such as categories, alternatives, and search suggestions, need no special access.
  • Saved search notifications are available to any account.
  • Search is enabled per account. Contact us to have search access switched on.

Results are paginated, with up to 100 results per page. Please keep to roughly one request per second. If you send too many requests you'll receive a 429 response, and you can simply retry a little later.
