B2B API (planned)
5.11 B2B API (planned)
The B2B data product's API is planned future work; no B2B endpoints are live today. B2B-relevant data currently reaches the outside world through the public price ledger (5.10) and its Arweave manifests.
Design sketch for the planned surface — separate base path, separate credentials, separate quotas from the public API:
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| GET | /inflation-pulse | Inflation Pulse series |
| GET | /basket-panel | Basket Panel query |
| GET | /merchant-benchmarks | Merchant Benchmarks |
| POST | /cohort-query | Custom cohort with k-floor enforcement |
| GET | /catalog | Available products + freshness + pricing |
| GET | /methodology/{version} | Methodology document for a given version |
Planned auth: API key with replay-protected request signing; the signing scheme and replay window stay in the internal operations layer.
Every planned B2B response includes methodology_version, the k-anonymity floor indicator, and the response's contributor count, so the buyer's compliance team can audit a release.
