No key? Get one free at signup — 1,000 calls/month included. Or pass _mock=true for sample data with no upstream hit.

[01] Authentication

Multiple ways to authenticate

Four authentication methods, one JWT token format. All methods issue the same JWT — pick the one that fits your use case.

API Key (recommended for servers)

Create a key from the signup, then send it as the X-API-Key header:

$ curl -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/health

OAuth (recommended for web apps)

# List configured providers
$ curl https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/auth/oauth/providers

Web3 Wallet

Sign a SIWE (EIP-4361) message with your wallet:

POST /v1/auth/web3/challenge { "address": "0x..." }

Passkey / FIDO2

POST /v1/auth/passkey/register/begin { "userId": "..." }

All methods issue JWTs with the same format. Use the token as a Bearer header or session cookie. Keys are hashed with SHA-256 at rest.

[02] Request + Response

One envelope. Every endpoint.

Every response carries the same structure — data, quality score, citation metadata, and usage info. Your agent always knows where the answer came from.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { /* structured payload */ },
  "quality": {
    "freshness_seconds": 47,

[04] AI Endpoints

EDGE

Edge AI — ask, search, analyze

AI endpoints run on the Cloudflare edge (Llama 3.3 70B) with automatic fallback to the homelab cluster (Qwen 3.5 27B). Tier-aware routing: free tier uses edge first, pro/business uses homelab first, enterprise uses BYOK if configured.

POST /v1/ai/ask

Ask a natural language question about Canadian government data. The response includes the answer, model used, inference source (edge/homelab/byok), and token usage.

$ curl -s -X POST https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/ai/ask \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  -d '{
    "question": "What did the ethics commissioner investigate in 2024?",
    "model": "fast"
  '} | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "answer": "The Ethics Commissioner investigated...",
    "model": "@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
    "source": "edge",
    "tokens": { "prompt": 142, "completion": 89 },
    "cached": false
  },
  "meta": { "tier": "free", "rate_limit_remaining": 9 }
}

Optional context field injects up to 2000 chars of MapleSpike data into the system prompt. Use model: "fast" for Llama 3.1 8B (lower latency), omit for Llama 3.3 70B (higher quality).

POST /v1/ai/search

Semantic search using edge-generated embeddings (BGE base) routed to the homelab Qdrant vector database. Falls back to keyword search if embedding generation fails.

$ curl -s -X POST https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/ai/search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  -d '{
    "query": "regulatory impacts on small business",
    "limit": 10
  '} | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { "results": [...] },
  "meta": { "source": "vector-edge-embedding" }
}

Max limit is 50. If the embedding service is unavailable, the API falls back to keyword search via /v1/gov/search and returns meta.source: "keyword-fallback".

POST /v1/ai/analyze (Pro tier+)

Submit a document or transcript for LLM-powered analysis. The model extracts key topics, notable entities, and an overall summary. Optionally specify a mode (e.g. "general", "legal", "financial") to hint the analysis focus. Defaults to "general" if omitted.

$ curl -s -X POST https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/ai/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  -d '{
    "text": "Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to table Bill C-59...",
    "mode": "general"
  '} | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "analysis": "Key Topics: 1) Budget implementation 2) Competition Act amendments...\n\nEntities: Bill C-59, Competition Bureau, Innovation Ministry...\n\nSummary: The speech introduces amendments to...",
    "model": "qwen3.5-4b-local",
    "mode": "general"
  }
}

Unlike /v1/ai/ask and /v1/ai/search which run directly on the Cloudflare edge, this endpoint is proxied to the homelab API server (Qwen 3.5). Requires Pro tier or higher (returns 402 UPGRADE_REQUIRED on Free). Max text length: 50,000 chars (first 8,000 chars are sent to the LLM). If the AI Gateway is unreachable, returns 503 AI_UNAVAILABLE.

GET /v1/ai/models

List available models and tier-aware routing rules. Public endpoint — no API key required.

$ curl -s https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/ai/models | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "edge": {
      "chat": "@cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast",
      "chatFast": "@cf/meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
      "embedding": "@cf/baai/bge-base-en-v1.5"
    },
    "homelab": "qwen3.5-27b",
    "routing": {
      "free": "edge (within budget) → homelab fallback",
      "pro": "homelab primary → edge fallback",
      "enterprise": "byok (if configured) → homelab fallback"
    }
  }
}

[05] Browser Extraction

Extract data from no-API government portals

Some government portals (NWT, Nunavut) have no machine-readable API. The extraction system lets the portal client render pages in the user's browser, extract download links, and cache results server-side for MCP tools to use as fallback.

Flow: 1. Client GETs extraction tasks → 2. Browser visits source URLs → 3. Client POSTs extracted results → 4. MCP tools GET cached results as fallback

GET /v1/extraction/tasks

List extraction tasks for sources that need browser rendering. Optionally filter by jurisdiction via path param or query param.

# All extraction tasks
$ curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/extraction/tasks | jq .

# Filter by jurisdiction (path param)
$ curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/extraction/tasks/nunavut | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "tasks": [{
      "source_id": "nunavut-bureau-statistics",
      "jurisdiction": "nunavut",
      "name": "Nunavut Bureau of Statistics",
      "url": "https://www.gov.nu.ca/en/...",
      "extract_type": "link_list",
      "selector": "a[href*='/sites/default/files/']",
      "cached": false,
      "cache_ttl_hours": 168
    }]
  }
}

POST /v1/extraction/results

Submit extracted data from the browser client. The server validates the source_id, blocks SSRF attempts (private IPs, localhost), and caches results with a timestamp.

$ curl -s -X POST https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/extraction/results \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  -d '{
    "source_id": "nunavut-bureau-statistics",
    "results": [{
      "title": "Population Estimates 2024",
      "url": "https://www.gov.nu.ca/sites/default/files/pop-2024.xlsx",
      "format": "xlsx"
    }]
  '} | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "stored": true,
    "source_id": "nunavut-bureau-statistics",
    "count": 1,
    "rejected": 0,
    "cached_at": "2026-07-01T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

SSRF protection: URLs pointing to localhost, 127.x, 10.x, 192.168.x, or 172.16.x are silently filtered. The rejected field shows how many were blocked.

GET /v1/extraction/cached/:source_id

Retrieve cached extraction results if fresh (within cache_ttl_hours). MCP tools use this as fallback when live sources are unavailable.

$ curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ms_live_..." \
  https://api.maplespike.ca/v1/extraction/cached/nunavut-bureau-statistics | jq .

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "source_id": "nunavut-bureau-statistics",
    "results": [...],
    "cached_at": "2026-07-01T12:00:00.000Z",
    "age_hours": 3.2,
    "fresh": true,
    "source_name": "Nunavut Bureau of Statistics",
    "jurisdiction": "nunavut"
  }
}

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "STALE",
    "message": "Cache expired (age: 172h, ttl: 168h)"
  }
}

Currently tracked sources: NWT Open Government Product, Nunavut Bureau of Statistics (3 sub-sources: demographics, economic, main). Cache TTL: 168 hours (7 days).

[ 06] Token Optimization

Trim responses for AI agents

Every token saved is money earned. These params go in the same request body — they're extracted before validation.

Param	Type	Effect
_fields	string[]	Return only named fields
_format	"full" \| "compact"	Compact strips null/empty
_limit	number	Cap array results
_page	number	Pagination offset
_summary	boolean	Return aggregates, not rows
_mock	true	Sample data, free, no upstream hit

[ 07] Citation Contract

Every response. Every endpoint. Verifiable.

Every MapleSpike endpoint returns the same citation block — whether you're using the REST API, MCP tools, or cross-reference engine.

{
  "citation": {
    "source_name": "open.canada.ca",
    "source_url": "https://open.canada.ca/...",
    "retrieved_at": "2026-05-13T12:00Z",
    "data_hash": "sha256:a1f3...",
    "license": "OGL-C",
    "citation_text": "open.canada.ca, retrieved 2026-05-13. OGL-C."
  }
}

data_hash is the SHA-256 of the response payload at fetch time. Re-fetch the source yourself and compare — if hashes match, you saw what we saw, byte-for-byte.

[ 11] FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. Free plan: 1,000 calls/month, every source, every SDK, citation hashes included. No card, no time limit.

What makes the citations verifiable?

Every response includes source name, exact upstream URL, retrieval timestamp, and a SHA-256 content hash. You can re-fetch and confirm exactly what the agent saw.

Which AI frameworks are supported?

MCP (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT), Anthropic tool_use, OpenAI function calling. TypeScript and Python SDKs.

How fresh is the data?

Depends on the source. Committee evidence: ~24h. Canada Gazette: within hours of publication. CanLII: daily. Every response ships with a freshness_seconds field.

What is the cross-reference engine?

Search for any person or company and get their complete government footprint — lobbying meetings, committee testimony, GIC board appointments, procurement contracts, court cases, and campaign donations — in a unified timeline.

Is my API key secure?

Keys are hashed with SHA-256 at rest — we only see them at verify time. HTTPS-only transit. Rotate from the workspace instantly.
