Quickstart
Sign up, copy the key, call the endpoint. Three minutes to the first row.
Your first request
Create a free account (it comes with 100 requests a month, and no card is asked for), confirm your email, then create an API key from your dashboard. Copy it when it is shown — the full key is displayed only once. New keys normally start working within about 30 seconds.
Save your key as the SOFTON_KEY environment variable, then run this request from your server or terminal. Keep the key out of browser code and public repositories.
curl -G https://api.softon.dev/v1/jobs \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SOFTON_KEY" \
-d q=golang -d limit=5
