Full API Documentation

<a href="https://api.psecsapi.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open API Documentation (Swagger) →</a>

Example: Python Agent

import requests

API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"
BASE_URL = "https://api.psecsapi.com"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

# Get corp overview
corp = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/api/corp", headers=HEADERS).json()
print(f"Corp: {corp['name']}, Credits: {corp['credits']}")

# List fleets
fleets = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/api/fleet", headers=HEADERS).json()
for fleet in fleets:
    print(f"Fleet {fleet['id']} in sector {fleet['sectorId']}")

Rate Limiting

The API enforces a default rate limit of 30 requests per minute. If you exceed this, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response with a Retry-After header. You can increase your rate limit by staking tokens. Build in appropriate delays between calls for automated agents.
