​
Overview

The Databuddy API provides programmatic access to your analytics data, link management, feature flags, and more. Built with privacy-first principles, it enables you to query, analyze, and manage your data securely.

​
Base URLs

All API requests should be made to: 
https://api.databuddy.cc

​
Endpoints

  • Query API: /v1/query - Execute analytics queries
  • RPC API: /rpc/* - Access to organization, website, and resource management
  • OpenAPI Docs: / - Interactive API documentation
  • OpenAPI Spec: /spec.json - OpenAPI specification

​
API Architecture

The Databuddy API uses two patterns:
  1. Query API - RESTful endpoints for analytics queries with flexible filtering and aggregation
  2. RPC API - Type-safe remote procedure calls for resource management

​
Authentication Methods

Databuddy supports two authentication methods:

​
Session Authentication

Used for browser-based requests. Session cookies are automatically included when authenticated through the dashboard.

​
API Key Authentication

Recommended for programmatic access. See the Authentication page for details.

​
