Cure Cancer with AI

Developer API

A free, public REST API over our continuously-updated oncology dataset: research papers, news, blog posts, FDA approvals, and clinical trials.

All endpoints are read-only and return JSON. The API is free to use — you just need a free API key, which you can generate from your account.

Get your free API key → (sign in required). Base URL: https://curecancerwithai.com

Authentication

Pass your key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token (an x-api-key header is also accepted). Requests without a valid key receive 401 Unauthorized.

curl "https://curecancerwithai.com/api/v1/research?limit=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ccw_live_YOUR_KEY"

Rate limits

The free tier allows 100 requests per hour, per key (rolling window). Every response includes these headers:

  • X-RateLimit-Limit — your hourly limit (100).
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining — requests left in the current window.
  • X-RateLimit-Reset — ISO timestamp when the window resets.

Exceeding the limit returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header.

Response shape

List endpoints return a data array plus pagination metadata:

{
  "data": [ { /* record */ }, ... ],
  "pagination": {
    "total": 1280,
    "limit": 20,
    "offset": 0,
    "page": 1,
    "totalPages": 64
  }
}

Errors use a consistent shape:

{ "error": "Invalid or revoked API key." }
