REST API v1

API reference

Every endpoint reads public data only, needs no key and works straight from a browser. Press Send a real request on any of them on this page. Checked against the code and the live system on 28 Sep 2026.

In plain wordsAn API lets your program ask Tipjai for data by itself, for example to show a creator's name, picture and tip link on your site. What you get is the same data anyone already sees on the web page.

Basics

The base URL is https://tipjai.com and every response is UTF-8 JSON.
No sign-up or key, and CORS is open to every origin (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *)
No payment details, no unpublished drafts and no per-supporter history. Amounts appear only when the creator chose to show totals.
The Link API and Remote MCP have a full spec in OpenAPI 3.1. Stats, creator, leaderboard and market are described on this page.

Errors and rate limits

Errors come back as {"error":"…"} with an HTTP status such as 404 429 503
The creator, market, stats and validate endpoints allow 60 requests a minute per IP. Above that you get 429 with Retry-After and that response is never cached.
The Link API catalogs (templates, platforms, schema, knowledge) are static, cached at the CDN for 5 minutes and not rate limited.
503 means the data is briefly unavailable. Try again after Retry-After when it is sent.
