Quickstart

Getting an API Key

Sign in at drain.lat/dashboard using Discord. A key is generated automatically on first login. You can view, copy, and regenerate it from the dashboard. No Discord channel or manual request needed.

Keep your key private. Don’t commit it to git or share it publicly.

Make a Request

Grab a GitHub profile to test your key.

curl "https://drain.lat/api/v1/github/profile/torvalds" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const res = await fetch("https://drain.lat/api/v1/github/profile/torvalds", {
  headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
});
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://drain.lat/api/v1/github/profile/torvalds",
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}
)
print(res.json())

{
  "id": 1024025,
  "username": "torvalds",
  "displayName": "Linus Torvalds",
  "bio": "Just for fun",
  "company": "Linux Foundation",
  "location": "Portland, OR",
  "followers": 234000,
  "publicRepos": 8,
  "profileUrl": "https://github.com/torvalds",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-05T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Auth Header

Every request needs one of these headers:

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Or alternatively:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Missing or wrong key returns:

{
  "error": "Invalid or missing API key"
}
