## OpenAPI

````yaml https://api.rankspot.ai/docs-json get /v1/keywords
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: RankSpot Public API
  description: >-
    The RankSpot Public API gives you programmatic access to your workspace data
    — keywords, backlinks, competitors, content topics, articles, and more.


    ## Authentication


    All endpoints require a Bearer API key in the `Authorization` header:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

    ```


    Generate API keys from **Settings → API Keys** in the RankSpot dashboard.
    Each key is scoped to a single workspace.


    ## Pagination


    List endpoints return a consistent envelope:


    ```json

    {
      "data": {
        "total": 120,
        "offset": 0,
        "limit": 20,
        "count": 20,
        "items": [...]
      }
    }

    ```


    Use `offset` and `limit` query parameters to paginate. Default limit is
    **20**, maximum is **100**.
