    [/llms.txt](https://app.surferseo.com/llms.txt) is a plain-text,
    machine-readable index of this API.


    ## Authentication


    Most API requests require an `API-KEY` header with a valid API key.
    Operations that do not require authentication state that explicitly.



    ## Workspaces


    Most v2 resource endpoints are scoped to a workspace via the URL path:
    `/api/v2/workspaces/:workspace_id/...`.


    The API key must belong to an organization that owns the workspace.
    Attempting to access another organization's workspace returns `404 Not
    Found` (not `403`) to avoid leaking resource existence.



    ## Pagination


    List endpoints whose reference page documents `page` and `page_size` return
    paginated responses; the other

    list endpoints return every item with `meta.total` plus any
    endpoint-specific metadata their reference page documents. Use query
    parameters to control pagination:


    | Parameter   | Default | Max | Description                |

    |-------------|---------|-----|----------------------------|

    | `page`      | 1       | —   | Page number (1-indexed)    |

    | `page_size` | 25      | 100 | Number of items per page   |


    Response includes a `meta` object with pagination details:


    ```json

    {
      "data": [...],
      "meta": {
        "total": 156,
        "page": 1,
        "page_size": 25,
        "total_pages": 7
      }
    }

    ```



    ## Filtering


    List endpoints support filtering via bracket-notation query parameters:


    ```

    GET
    /api/v2/workspaces/123/content_editors?filter[state]=completed&filter[inserted_after]=2024-04-12T15:23:45Z

    ```


    Supported filters are documented per endpoint. Unknown filter keys are
    silently ignored. Applied filters are reflected in the response
    `meta.filters` object.



    ## Ordering


    List endpoints support ordering via `sort` and `order` query parameters:


    ```

    GET /api/v2/workspaces/123/content_editors?sort=inserted_at&order=desc

    ```


    - `sort` — field to sort by. Supported fields are documented per endpoint.
    Defaults to `inserted_at`.

    - `order` — `asc` or `desc`. Defaults to `desc`.



    ## Idempotency


    Non-idempotent operations (`POST` requests that create resources) support an
    `Idempotency-Key` header:


    ```

    POST /api/v2/workspaces/123/content_editors

    Idempotency-Key: client-generated-uuid-here

    ```


    If a request with the same key was already processed, the API answers with
    the original status code and the resource as it is now, without running the
    action again. Keys expire after 24 hours. Using the same key with a
    different request path returns `422`, a request still in progress under the
    same key returns `409`, and a failed request does not store its key, so the
    same key can retry it.



    ## Rate Limiting


    Rate limits are enforced per API key, per endpoint. When exceeded, the API
    returns `429` with a `Retry-After` header. Per-endpoint limits are
    documented on each operation.


    v2 responses additionally include `x-ratelimit-limit`,
    `x-ratelimit-remaining`, and `x-ratelimit-reset` (Unix timestamp, seconds)
    headers describing the current window state.



    ## Errors


    Newer v2 endpoints return errors in this envelope:


    ```json

    {
      "error": {
        "reason": "validation_error",
        "message": "Request validation failed",
        "details": [
          { "field": "keywords", "reason": "required" }
        ]
      }
    }

    ```


    | HTTP Status | Reason                   |
    Description                                      |

    |-------------|--------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|

    | 400         | `validation_error`       | Invalid request
    parameters                       |

    | 401         | `unauthorized`           | Missing or invalid API
    key                       |

    | 403         | `permission_denied`      | Valid key but no access,
    including plan/billing  |

    | 404         | `not_found`              | Resource does not
    exist                          |

    | 406         | `not_acceptable`         | Requested response format
    unavailable            |

    | 409         | `conflict`               | Wrong resource state or
    idempotency key in use   |

    | 413         | `content_too_large`      | Request body too
    large                           |

    | 415         | `unsupported_media_type` | Unsupported request content
    type                 |

    | 422         | `unprocessable_entity`   | Request understood but cannot be
    processed       |

    | 422         | `quota_exceeded`         | Feature enabled but credit/quota
    limit reached   |

    | 429         | `rate_limit_exceeded`    | Too many
    requests                                |

    | 500         | `internal_error`         | Unexpected server
    error                          |



    ## Webhooks


    Some asynchronous operations emit webhook events. Operations that emit
    events list the event names and payload notes in their descriptions.


    Webhook setup is organization-level. Configure an HTTPS endpoint that
    accepts POST requests and responds with a `2xx` status, then contact Surfer
    support to register the endpoint and receive a verification key.


    Surfer sends webhook requests with a `Verification-Key` header and a JSON
    body.
