API & Integrations

Trade intelligence for your own software.

Connect product, market, supplier and buyer research to your website, internal tools or AI workflows.

An API lets your software request information from another service automatically. A developer or integration partner can help connect it.

How an integration could work
  1. 01

    Your tool

    Provide the product, country, company or quotation details.

  2. 02

    Research request

    Your software requests the relevant research through the API.

  3. 03

    Useful output

    Use structured results and supported PDF reports in your workflow.

Want the research without building an integration?

You can use My Fair or explore our research services directly. You do not need to understand APIs.

Built around your workflow

What could you build?

These examples show how research could fit into your own product. We can discuss the tools and access needed for your particular project.

AI-generated conceptual illustrations explain possible workflows; they are not interface screenshots or supplier evidence.

Plan your integrationAccess, dependencies & documentation
  1. Confirm available tools, API access, usage limits and pricing with us.
  2. Your developer sends the required inputs using the confirmed authentication method: Bearer token or x-api-key.
  3. Use the returned structured JSON and report identifier. Some tools need an existing research report first.
  4. Request a supported PDF export when needed. PDF responses use application/pdf.

Research takes time. Your developer should confirm request timing, error handling and report dependencies in the current documentation. Keep API credentials on your server.

Endpoint paths shown here are relative to the API service base URL; they are reference text. Ask for the current host and documentation rather than adding them to this website’s address.

Documentation formats: /api/docs?format=openapi, /api/docs?format=markdown and /api/docs?format=tools.

Ask for technical documentation
