aptrouter support
Overview
Token-lean, verbatim-cited scholarly/web search for agents and apps.
aptrouter Search API 1.0.0
Section titled “aptrouter Search API 1.0.0”The aptrouter Search API returns verbatim, source-cited results in a token-lean envelope designed for LLM agents — every result carries a quoted sentence and its source identifier, with abbreviated keys to minimise tokens.
Auth: every /v1/* endpoint requires Authorization: Bearer sk_live_….
Keys are issued per customer.
Billing is prepaid. Each search debits 1 credit ($0.005, i.e.
$5 per 1,000 searches) from the key’s prepaid balance — there are no plans,
tiers, or monthly quotas. When the balance reaches zero the API returns
HTTP 402; top up in the dashboard to continue. The X-Credit-Balance
response header reports the remaining balance after each call.
Token-lean by design: result keys are abbreviated
(d=id, t=title, y=year, a=authors, s=score, q=cited sentence).
The X-Token-Budget response header gives an estimated token count so an
agent framework can budget without parsing the body.
