Authorization
Get an API Key
Leave an email (and optionally a Telegram handle) and get a scoped Talus API key immediately.
Leave an email and pick the parts of the API you need. We email you a 6-digit code to confirm the address; enter it 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.
- A key belongs to one network. The two deployments share no database, so a
key works only on the network that issued it — use it against the other and
you get a
401. Pick the network in the form before you claim.
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.
