# Caplia API

> Programmatic access to Caplia - for investors reading deal flow, and for founders improving their own company.

Caplia has two API surfaces. They share the same hosts but serve opposite sides of the table - **pick the one that's you** so you're reading the right docs.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="I'm an investor" icon="magnifying-glass-chart" href="/quickstart">
    **Venture API.** Read your deal flow, submit and score inbound pitch decks, pull CRI and thesis-fit scores, metrics, and data rooms across your whole pipeline. For VC funds, accelerators, angels, and corp-dev teams.

    Keys: `cap_inv_*` · Namespace: `/v1/companies`, `/v1/search`, …
  </Card>

  <Card title="I'm a founder" icon="rocket" href="/founder/index">
    **Founder API.** See *your own* company's CRI score and the rubric's improvement guidance, and iterate your pitch deck privately until it clears Caplia Verified (CRI ≥ 700). For founders raising on Caplia.

    Keys: `cap_fnd_*` · Namespace: `/v1/me/*`

| Read and triage *other companies'* deals in your pipeline          | [Venture API](/quickstart)        |
| Score inbound decks at scale, or embed an upload form on your site | [Venture API](/quickstart)        |
| Improve *your own* company's score and pitch deck                  | [Founder API](/founder/index)     |
| Connect Claude to rewrite your deck until you're Caplia Verified   | [Founder API](/founder/deck-loop) |

Both surfaces run on `api.venture.caplia.ai` and `mcp.venture.caplia.ai`. Your API key prefix - `cap_inv_*` or `cap_fnd_*` - decides which one you get; they're not interchangeable.

## Common to both

* **REST + MCP.** Everything is available as a REST API and as MCP tools for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other agents.
* **`v1`, additive only.** All paths are prefixed with `/v1`. We don't break v1.
* **Sandbox for safe testing.** A `-sandbox` host with `*_test_*` keys mirrors production against isolated data. Cross-environment leaks fail closed.
