API Reference

The Pixelated Empathy API provides a comprehensive set of endpoints for integrating with our platform. This documentation will help you understand how to authenticate, make requests, and work with responses from our API.

Authentication

All API requests must be authenticated. You can authenticate using either:

• Platform API keys obtained from the developer dashboard
• OAuth tokens from your Pixelated Empathy application

API keys should be included in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_API_KEY

For application-based authentication, use OAuth 2.0 flows as documented in the authentication guides.

Base URL

All API requests should be made to the following public gateway URL:

https://api.pixelated.dev/api/v1

This gateway provides access to all Pixelated Empathy services through a unified interface. Only the public gateway is accessible for security and compliance.

For example, to access the search endpoint, your full URL would be:https://api.pixelated.dev/api/v1/search

Request Format

The API accepts requests with Content-Type: application/json for POST, PUT, and PATCH requests. GET requests should include query parameters in the URL.

Response Format

All responses are returned as JSON. Successful responses include a data field containing the requested information. Error responses include an error field with details about the error.

Successful Response Example

{
  "data": {
    "id": "mem_123",
    "content": "User reported feeling anxious about work presentation",
    "metadata": {
      "category": "therapeutic_insight",
      "timestamp": "2023-01-01T10:30:00Z"
    }
  }
}

Error Response Example

{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_request",
    "message": "Invalid user ID provided",
    "status": 400
  }
}

Rate Limiting

API requests are subject to rate limiting to ensure fair usage. The current rate limits are:

• 100 requests per minute per API key
• 5,000 requests per day per API key

Rate limit information is included in the response headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 95
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1620000000

Available Endpoints

SDKs and Libraries

We provide official SDKs for several programming languages to make integrating with our API easier:

npm install @pixelated/sdk

pip install pixelated

Versioning

The API uses semantic versioning and is versioned through the URL path (e.g., /api/v1/users). We maintain backward compatibility within the same major version and will notify you of any breaking changes before they occur.

Version History

API Versioning Guidelines

• Always include the version in your API requests to ensure stability
• Non-versioned endpoints automatically redirect to the current version but will be deprecated in the future
• We will maintain API compatibility within the same major version
• Minor version updates (e.g., new features) will be added in a backward-compatible manner
• Major version updates may contain breaking changes
