Public-records and market-intelligence data — vehicle history, county property records, congressional trade disclosures, SEC insider filings, lobbying, patents, federal contracts, and an in-house trading-strategy backtest. One key, twelve endpoints, plain JSON.
Keys are issued manually today. Email b2gdevs@gmail.com with your intended use case and tier (free / pro), or subscribe through the RapidAPI listing once it's live — RapidAPI subscribers don't need a key at all, requests are authenticated via the RapidAPI proxy.
Every key looks like bg_live_<32 hex chars>. It is shown to you exactly once at
issue time — store it somewhere safe.
Pass your key as the X-API-Key header (or ?api_key= query param).
