2026-05-10 — Quick reads — new API endpoint, full reads unchanged
Bulk research is expensive when you're scanning candidates, not analyzing finalists. Quick reads are a new API mode that decides per-domain whether a name is worth the full AI appraisal.
Two ways to use it. POST /v1/research-jobs/quick submits 1-100 names; each domain is routed in ~1.5s by a smaller model. Names judged worthy escalate to the full appraisal (10 credits, same as today). Names judged not worthy receive a quick-read price band plus a one-sentence rationale (1 credit). Your wallet only sees the actual per-domain charge; the reservation converges down as decisions land.
POST /v1/domains/{domain}/rerun is the companion primitive: force a fresh appraisal on one name, full read by default. Use it to upgrade a quick read to the full pipeline (the new full appraisal supersedes the earlier quick read automatically).
The existing POST /v1/research-jobs endpoint is unchanged. Every domain still runs the full appraisal at 10 credits each. No behavior change for any caller that was already in production.
2026-05-06 — v1 public REST API
The same research, pricing, and signals you see in the dashboard, callable from your own backend. Same wallet, same data — REST + JSON.
Eight endpoints: submit jobs, poll status, cancel + refund, read reports, read pricing, list jobs, check the wallet. Auth is org-scoped API keys (or the dashboard's session cookie). Stripe-style idempotency on POSTs.
