Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Y Combinator Company API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/ycombinator/company with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Y Combinator Company API cost?
$0.01 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.
What parameters does the Y Combinator Company API accept?
Required: slug (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Y Combinator Company API return?
A JSON result. This endpoint runs asynchronously, so the response tells you how to fetch the finished result.
Do I need a Y Combinator developer account or API key?
No. Y Combinator Company runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Y Combinator API access separately.
