Authentication

The REST API authenticates with an API key you create in the Land Insights app.

Create and manage keys under Settings → API keys:

  • Keys start with lipk_.
  • The full key is shown once, when you create it. Store it securely; if you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.
  • Keys don’t expire on a schedule — revoke one at any time from the same screen.

Send your key on every request in the Authorization header:

Terminal window
curl "https://app-api.landinsights.co/api/public/v1/usage/" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer lipk_your_key_here"

A missing or invalid key returns a 401 error.

The API is available to Pro subscribers. Within a Pro subscription, an API add-on controls which surfaces you can use:

  • Free API add-on (included with every Pro subscription) — covers the MCP server.
  • Starter API add-on or above — adds full REST API access.

Without a Pro subscription, requests return 402 subscription_required. With Pro but only the Free add-on, REST requests return 402 tier_upgrade_required (the MCP server still works). See Errors for the full list.
