# Introduction

> Programmatic read-only access to your Verseodin dashboard data — universes, history aggregates, full prompt records with AI answers and citations.

The Verseodin API gives you the same data your dashboard reads, in a
form you can pipe into BI tools, alerting, or your own product. It's
**read-only** — designed for pulling analytics, not for mutating state.

## What you can do

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="List your universes" icon="rectangle-list" href="/api-reference/universes/list-universes">
    Pull the catalogue of universes the API key holder owns.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pull history aggregates" icon="chart-line" href="/api-reference/history/get-history">
    Every column of the `history` table — AI Visibility, GEO Audit,
    AEO Audit, Monitors — for any day or engine.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Read full AI answers + citations" icon="quote-left" href="/api-reference/prompts/list-prompts">
    Per-prompt records including the AI's response text and the URLs
    it cited.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Track competitors over time" icon="arrows-spin" href="/concepts/data-model">
    Every metric supports a `days` filter for time-series queries
    going back up to 90 days.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## What you can't do

* **Write data** — the API is GET-only by design. No POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE on any v1 endpoint.
* **Hit it from a browser without proxying** — there's no CORS, by intent (matches Stripe's model). Integrate from a backend.
* **Subscribe to push events** — no webhooks today. If you need event-driven flow, poll the API.

## Same key, two surfaces

The key you generate at `/dashboard/settings/api-keys` works for **both**
this REST API **and** the Verseodin Claude / MCP connector. One credential,
two doorways into the same data — generate, copy once, plug in anywhere.
