The root endpoint should prefix all resources and is only accessible over HTTPS. CORS is also enabled.
https://api.punkapi.com/v2/
In V2 I decided to remove authentication and instead rely on rate limits from IP addresses, see section below for more details.
To make sure everyone can access the API reliably, each IP that makes a request has a rate limit of 3600 requests per hour.
This works out at 1 req/sec. This is an initial figure, if the servers hold up I will definitely consider bumping this number.
You can see what the rate limit is and how many requests are remaining by looking at the rate limit headers sent in the response.
x-ratelimit-limit: 3600
x-ratelimit-remaining: 3587
All parameters are optional and without them the API will just return the beers in ascending order from their ID. Parameters are passed in as a query string and can be chained together.
If a parameter is passed without a value it will return a 400 error.
$ curl https://api.punkapi.com/v2/beers?brewed_before=11-2012&abv_gt=6
Requests that return multiple items will be limited to 25 results by
default. You can access other pages using the
?page
paramater, you can also increase the amount of beers returned in each
request by changing the
?per_page
paramater.
$ curl https://api.punkapi.com/v2/beers?page=2&per_page=80
