Chart your course with the API
Navero Launch offers two ways to integrate with the platform. If you're building an application, use the REST API at /api/v1. Full documentation—including the OpenAPI 3.1 description—is available at /developers to guide your bearing.
Connect an AI assistant
AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can connect via MCP at /mcp. Once linked, your assistant can:
- Search launches and read listings
- Draft and manage your own listings (with your permission)
Your assistant will open a sign-in page on this site to authenticate.
Signing in and API keys
You have two routes to authentication. Use OAuth when your assistant needs access, or generate a personal API key from /account/developers for direct API calls. Keys are shown only once; we store only a hash. Treat them as you would a password.
Know your limits
Rate limits and daily quotas apply to all API use. When a payment is required, the API returns a checkout link—all transactions happen on this site itself. Note that voting is not available through the API; that bearing remains community-only.
