Quickstart

Get your first API call working in under five minutes.

Step 1: Sign up

Create an account at platform.godfocus.io/auth/signup. No credit card required — every new account starts with a free credit balance to explore the API.

Step 2: Generate an API key

Go to your Dashboard API Keys and click Generate key. Copy the key — it starts with gfp_live_ and will only be shown once.

Store it in an environment variable:

export GODFOCUS_API_KEY="gfp_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"

Step 3: Verify your key with /v1/health

curl https://platform.godfocus.io/v1/health \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GODFOCUS_API_KEY"

You should see "ok": true and your current credit balance.

Step 4: Try a Bible search

curl -X POST https://platform.godfocus.io/v1/bible/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GODFOCUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "love thy neighbor", "top_k": 5}'

You should get back a list of matching Bible verses with relevance scores.
