description: The API, MCP server and A2A interface are all anonymous by default -
  "no key, no signup" is the product's stated posture, and the live MCP tools/list
  and REST endpoints answered unauthenticated probes on 2026-09-07. An optional API
  key exists purely to raise allowances and unlock domain-scoped features.
default: anonymous
schemes:
- type: none
  scope: All search, publishing, console and data-feed endpoints, the MCP server
    and the A2A interface work with no credential at anonymous allowances.
- type: apiKey
  required: false
  obtained: Prove control of a domain with one DNS record via POST /claim then
    POST /claim/verify ("Verified" tier, free). The MCP server card declares
    authentication.required false with no schemes.
  delivery: Not documented publicly; the first-party CLI passes it as --key KEY.
    The OpenAPI declares no securitySchemes.
  grants: ~6x anonymous allowances, 30 days of rank history, unlogged searches,
    and the domain-scoped /private/entries surface (internal services visible only
    to that domain's key). Pro keys (contact) raise allowances ~5x further with
    metering readable at GET /me.
notes:
- GET /me answers without a key, returning the free-tier allowances rather than an
  error.
- No OAuth/OIDC surface; /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and
  /openid-configuration both 404.
