Unified API

DumplingAI’s Unified API is the capability-first API lane under /api/v2. It is the recommended default for new focused data integrations. Use Direct Endpoints under /api/v1 when you need legacy request shapes or the current Make.com module flow. This surface is organized around two ways to work:
  • capabilities: ask DumplingAI to do a job like search_news, extract_document, or scrape_page
  • provider endpoints: call a specific managed upstream endpoint like serper.search, perplexity.search, or firecrawl.scrape
Direct Endpoints under /api/v1 remain available and unchanged.

Base URL

https://app.dumplingai.com

Capability lane

Use capabilities when you want the cleanest interface.

Endpoints

  • POST /api/v2/search
  • POST /api/v2/details
  • POST /api/v2/run
POST /api/v2/details now returns a lean default object. Pass includeRelated: true when you also want related providers, endpoints, and capabilities.

Example

curl -X POST https://app.dumplingai.com/api/v2/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "capability",
    "id": "search_news",
    "input": {
      "query": "latest AI regulation",
      "dateRange": "pastWeek"
    }
  }'

Provider endpoint lane

Use provider endpoints when you know the upstream API you want.

Endpoints

  • POST /api/v2/search
  • POST /api/v2/details
  • POST /api/v2/run

Example

curl -X POST https://app.dumplingai.com/api/v2/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "endpoint",
    "id": "serper.search",
    "input": {
      "query": "best seo keywords for plumbers in nyc"
    },
    "options": {
      "include_native": true
    }
  }'

Response envelope

Both lanes share the same outer response shape:
{
  "success": true,
  "requestId": "req_123",
  "object": "capability_result",
  "data": {},
  "meta": {}
}
Error responses:
{
  "success": false,
  "requestId": "req_123",
  "error": "Provider not allowed for this API key",
  "code": "PROVIDER_NOT_ALLOWED"
}
