Public API

SaaSHub's public API

This is a "beta" version of our API. It is simple and has only two endpoints. This is a JSON API and follows the jsonapi.org specification.

To make requests and access the API you need an API key. All SaaSHub users can find their api_key in their profile - /profile/api_key.

If you are using the API, you have to disclose somewhere on your website that you are using SaaSHub' API.

/api/alternatives/__query__

Returns the first product that matches the query and the top 10 relevant alternatives.
