Endpoints
Call it
Each endpoint is a web address. Request it with GET, put your API key in the x-api-key header, and you get JSON back. For example, Credit balance:
curl "https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/account/credit-balance" \-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"Use it in Claude
Connect LurkAPI to Claude and ask in plain English. Each endpoint is a tool Claude can call:
| Tool | Endpoint |
|---|---|
account_credit_balance | Credit balance |
