Authorization
Get an API Key
Leave an email (and optionally a Telegram handle) and get a scoped Talus API key immediately.
Leave an email, pick the parts of the API you need, and the key is issued on the spot. There is no waiting list and no approval step. A Telegram handle is optional — it just gives us a faster way to reach you than email.
What you get is unlimited access for a limited time:
- No quota. Use the key as much as you like for 90 days. A fair-use rate limit per scope protects the service; a normal integration will never notice it. If yours does, get in touch and we will talk.
- One key per contact. An email or Telegram handle that already has a live
key cannot claim a second one — the claim returns
409. Once the key expires, or you revoke it, you can claim again. The limit is per contact, not per person: a different email is a different claim. - Every scope is read-only. Nothing you can claim here mutates state, which is what makes handing out keys without review reasonable.
The full key is shown once. It cannot be recovered — copy it before you
leave the page. If you lose it, get in touch and we will revoke it so you can
claim again — a key can only be revoked by presenting it (DELETE /tokens),
so there is no self-service path for a lost one.

Which scopes do you need?
No quota — a fair-use rate limit per scope is set by the server, and the key is valid for 90 days. One key per email or Telegram handle.
What next#
Once you have a key, API Key Usage shows what it has been doing: request counts by scope or route, error rate, and whether you are hitting your rate limit.
