Quick start

Get from zero to a 200 OK in two steps.

You’ll need a Spate account and a terminal.

1. Generate an API key

   Go to app.spate.nyc/settings/api, generate your key and copy it somewhere safe.

   Keys are shown only once.

   See Authentication for the full flow.

2. Make your first call

   In your terminal, export the key and hit the Top 5 Trends endpoint:

   export SPATE_API_KEY="__paste_your_secret_key_here__"
   # Top 5 US Beauty trends
   curl "https://api.spate.nyc/v1/latest/cat1/trends/top5/popindex/us/6d408533-6979-43aa-80af-4d88bf0be860" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPATE_API_KEY"

   A 200 OK means everything is working.

   For other responses, see the endpoint reference.

3. Validate the data

   Using jq and column, you can extract and format part of the response.

   To view the data as a table, and compare it to the dashboard:

   export SPATE_API_KEY="__paste_your_secret_key_here__"
   response=$(curl "https://api.spate.nyc/v1/latest/cat1/trends/top5/popindex/us/6d408533-6979-43aa-80af-4d88bf0be860" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPATE_API_KEY")
   echo "# Dashbord URL: $(echo $response | jq -r '.data.dashboard')"
   echo "# Data:"
   echo "$response" | jq -r '
     ["Rank", "Trend", "Popularity", "YoY", "YoY prediction"],
     (.data.trends[] | [.rank, .cat5_label, .popularity, .yoy_percent_increase, .yoy_percent_increase_prediction])
     | @tsv
   ' | column -t -s $'\t'
