Idea Data Bank API

Free

What it is

The developer product over the researched business idea catalog: a public, key-authenticated REST API (base /api/v1/idea-bank) that outside developers, businesses, and AI agents use to pull the 5,000+ researched idea cards into their own apps, content sites, courses, and research tools. Five GET endpoints: the paginated idea list with filters (category, industry, budget tier, time band, difficulty, audience, business type, trait), text search and sorting; a single idea with the full how-to-start steps and the researched revenue estimate when the research exists (never invented); categories and industries with live counts; the curated lists; and catalog metadata. Every signed-in member gets the FREE tier automatically: they create a key at /settings/api-keys (named, shown in full exactly once, revocable any time; only a fingerprint is stored), and the free tier requires an attribution link back to unleashyourideas.com wherever the data shows publicly. Paid tiers raise the monthly call quota and key allowance and are bought through the standard checkout from the sales page at /ideas-api (tiers live in src/lib/pricing.ts IDEA_API_PLANS). Full developer reference with curl, JavaScript, and Python examples at /ideas-api/docs. No AI runs in this API, so it never uses credits; usage is metered in API calls against the key's own monthly quota.

What it is for

developers, businesses, and AI agents who want the researched idea catalog inside their own product, and members who want an API key to build with the data
