VerifiedDR API

Use VerifiedDR scores and actions in your app or agent. The API shares data and rules with the vdr CLI and MCP server.

Base URL
https://verifieddr.com/api/v1
Authentication
Authorization: Bearer vdr_your_api_key
Limits
  • 60 requests a minute
  • Quota headers on every response
  • JSON in, JSON out

Start in two minutes

One key, one header, one request. The first response is the JSON your app works with.

  1. 1

    Create a key

    Open API keys in the dashboard and create a key. It starts with vdr_. Keep it in server code and never in a browser.

  2. 2

    Send your first request

    Add the key as a bearer token. A site lookup returns DR, TrueDR, trust and traffic evidence for any approved website.

    First request
    curl https://verifieddr.com/api/v1/lookup/verifieddr.com \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer vdr_your_api_key"
  3. 3

    Or run the same call in the CLI

    Every endpoint has a vdr command. Agents and scripts often prefer the shorter form.

    Same operation in the CLI
    export VERIFIEDDR_API_KEY=vdr_your_api_key
    vdr authority:lookup verifieddr.com

Authentication

Send the key as a bearer token with each request. Public lookups return public site data. Account routes return 404 for sites outside your account, so a leaked key never reveals which sites you own.

Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer vdr_your_api_key

Rate limits and quota

Every authenticated call spends one quota unit, cached or not. The cheapest way in is a Monitor subscription; a 90-day growth program carries the same meter for its run.

The free trial covers GET /lookup, /find, /map, /snippets, /categories and /account/usage, plus reading and editing AI Visibility questions on sites you own. Running a scan needs a running program. If onboarding granted the account a limited first scan, the API can use that allowance for up to 4 questions. Later scans and all other actions need a program.

Responses include X-API-Quota-Limit, X-API-Quota-Remaining, X-API-Quota-Period and X-API-Tier. A minute-rate limit returns 429 with Retry-After. A spent quota or a program gate returns 402 with an upgrade link. A program runs 90 days on one payment.

Partner program

Show VerifiedDR data inside your own tool and the API is free.

Directories, launch platforms, SEO tools and agent products that display DR, TrueDR or AI visibility from this API get a partner key with 10,000 calls a month at no charge. The partner allowance stacks with any plan and never expires while the integration is live.
