Access

The API can be accessed from

https://infinitode.netlify.app/api/v1/myconom

Authentication

Bearer

This API uses Bearer Token authentication. Include your standard API key in the Authorization header of your request.

You can also use the API with the default GET method, and continue to use the default apiKey or token parameters. When using the authorization bearer, apiKey or token parameters are automatically ignored.

API Token

Alternatively, pass your standard API key as a request parameter instead of a header: as the apiKey field in the JSON body for POST, or as the token query parameter for GET.

You can also use the API with the default GET method.

Example:

Or, use the GET method:

Response

Upon a successful request, using the Myconom API you will receive a JSON response with the model's prediction. If the API token is invalid or the request fails, an error message will be included in the response.

Example response:

The response contains the model's prediction.


Usage example

Here's a usage example in JavaScript using the fetch API:

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your actual API token.


Error handling

The API may return error responses in case of invalid input or other issues. Be sure to handle errors gracefully in your application. Error responses will include appropriate status codes and error messages in the JSON format.

⚠️ Error codes

Here are a few of the error codes, you will receive in responses, to help clarify issues:

Common error codes

Error code
Description

400

Missing or invalid parameters. This is when the parameters you passed to the API, do not match the API's expected inputs.

405

Using an invalid method, to access the API.

429

The rate limit is exceeded within the current timeframe.

401

Invalid API key, no remaining calls (No remaining API calls.), or an error while processing your input.

Our APIs are rigorously tested before deployments, to ensure that they do not produce any unintentional errors during production.


⌛ Rate limiting

We use rate limiting, to protect our API's resources. Rate limiting is implemented on all of our APIs, and follows these general principles:

  • interval: The rate limiting is set to a default interval of 1 minute.

  • amount of requests: The amount of requests is set to a default of 25 requests within the given interval.

If the rate limit is exceeded, an error 429 code will be returned, instead of the actual API output.


⭐ Best practices

Common guidelines to use, optimize, and protect your implementation of our APIs.

  • Do not store/share/expose your API keys. See Keeping your API key safe

  • Implement data cleaning, and validation in your code, to ensure inputs are sanitized

  • Handle API errors gracefully

  • Try this endpoint in the API playground — mock mode returns dummy data in the real response shape, with no API key and no calls used

  • Handle API outputs accordingly. You can see examples of this API's output in the Endpoint section.

  • Implement code to notify users of actions when using our APIs, such as errors, delays, formatting issues, etc.


❓ FAQs

Answers to the most common questions and issues when using this API:

I am getting a 405 error, what should I do?

A 405 error means the endpoint exists, but the HTTP method doesn't: use POST or GET, since this endpoint does not accept other HTTP methods. A 404 or NotFound error is different — it means the route doesn't exist, usually because the endpoint URL was misspelled.

Is rate limiting set individually, or per API key?

Rate limiting is set individually, this means that rate limiting happens on an end-user level. This ensures that our API is used fairly, among all users.

Are request timeouts a thing?

Yes, we normally timeout requests after the 10-second mark. This, however, can vary significantly, depending on various other factors.

What is the max payload size?

The maximum payload size for buffered executions is 4.5mb per request. For streamed executions, we use a payload restriction size of 20mb per request.

Is this AI model accurate?

Yes, on our testing sets, the model scored an extremely high accuracy score of 100%, however, when cross-validation was used, the model scored an average of 91.1%, showing that it struggled with specific instances/samples.

However, this model is for educational purposes only. Read the disclaimer for more information.


OpenAPI

You can download the OpenAPI specification for this API to learn more about how it works and how to use it. The OpenAPI specification is a standard, language-agnostic interface to RESTful APIs that allows both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of the service without access to source code, documentation, or through network traffic inspection.
