API Documentation

The Akii REST API lets you manage brands, trigger scans, read AI visibility monitoring data, configure webhooks, and check credits programmatically.

Base URL: https://akii.com/api/v1

Getting Started

Create an API Key

Generate a key from the dashboard or via the POST /api/v1/api-keys endpoint.

Add the Header

Include X-API-Key: akii_live_... in every request.

Make a Request

Call any endpoint to manage brands, trigger scans, or read data.

Authentication

All API endpoints (except key management) require an X-API-Key header.

API keys are created via the dashboard or the POST /api/v1/api-keys endpoint using session cookie authentication.

Key format: akii_<live|test>_{keyId}_{secret}

Scopes

Each API key has a set of scopes that determine what it can access.

Scope	Description
brands:read	List and get brands
brands:write	Create, update, and delete brands
scans:read	Get scan status
scans:write	Create scans
monitoring:read	Read search tracker and citation data
actions:read	Read Control Center actions

Quick Start

bash

curl https://akii.com/api/v1/brands \
 -H "X-API-Key: akii_live_YOUR_KEY"

typescript

const res = await fetch("https://akii.com/api/v1/brands", {
 headers: { "X-API-Key": "akii_live_YOUR_KEY" },
});
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);

Rate Limits

Default limits per API key:

60 requests/minute
1,000 requests/hour
10,000 requests/day

Every response includes rate limit headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 57
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1708646460

When rate limited (HTTP 429), the response includes a Retry-After header with the number of seconds to wait.

Error Handling

All errors follow a consistent envelope:

json

{
 "error": {
 "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
 "message": "Rate limit exceeded. Check the Retry-After header.",
 "type": "rate_limit_error"
 },
 "meta": {
 "request_id": "req-uuid",
 "timestamp": "2026-02-23T00:00:00Z"
 }
}

Status	Code	Description
400	validation_error	Invalid request parameters
401	missing_api_key / invalid_api_key	Authentication failed
403	insufficient_scope / brand_not_allowed	Authorization denied
404	not_found	Resource not found
429	rate_limit_exceeded	Too many requests
500	internal_error	Server error
