API Reference

Open endpoints for browsing, a free family key for the bundles.

Base URL: https://api.ipdatalibrary.com

Open endpoints

No key needed:

  • GET /v1 — API index
  • GET /v1/bundles — list the snapshot-pinned bundles with sizes, vintages and download paths
  • GET /v1/stats — library statistics

Gated endpoints

Free ElkassabgiData key — one key works across every family library:

  • GET /v1/bundles/{vintage}/{file} — download a bundle (Parquet)
  • GET /v1/me — the signed-in account

Authenticate with an X-API-Key header. Get a free key by registering at any family library (e.g. the HF Data Library download page) — or just sign in here and the site's download buttons authenticate for you.

Example

List bundles, then download one:

curl https://api.ipdatalibrary.com/v1/bundles

curl -L -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -o patent_measures.parquet \
  "https://api.ipdatalibrary.com{download path from /v1/bundles}"

Responses carry x-citation and x-snapshot-vintage headers; rate limits match the family standard and the endpoint answers with honest JSON errors.

One account. Every library.

Your free ElkassabgiData key unlocks the whole family: IP Data Library (this site) and HF Data Library — 1-minute intraday U.S. equity data — and Econ Data Library — economic & financial time series.
