API v3

v3 introduces cursor-based pagination for stable, efficient iteration and field selection to reduce payload size. All v1/v2 endpoints remain available.

Cursor Pagination

Stable iteration using opaque cursor IDs instead of page numbers. No skipped or duplicated results when data changes.

Field Selection

Request only the fields you need with ?fields=name,slug,healthScore to reduce response size.

Rate Limit Headers

Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset headers.

Migrating from v2 to v3

Pagination: Replace page=2 with cursor=<next_cursor> from the previous response. The response shape changes from { page, total_pages } to { next_cursor, has_more }.

Field selection: Add ?fields=name,slug,healthScore to any endpoint. If omitted, all default fields are returned (same as v2).

Base URL: Change /api/v2/ to /api/v3/. All query parameters for filtering and sorting remain the same.

Reviews: v3 reviews endpoint only returns approved reviews by default.

Cursor Pagination Example

javascript

// Iterate through all VCs
let cursor = null;
let allVcs = [];

do {
  const url = new URL("https://vcpeer.com/api/v3/vcs");
  url.searchParams.set("limit", "50");
  url.searchParams.set("fields", "name,slug,healthScore");
  if (cursor) url.searchParams.set("cursor", cursor);

  const res = await fetch(url, {
    headers: { Authorization: "Bearer vcg_your_key" }
  });
  const json = await res.json();

  allVcs.push(...json.data);
  cursor = json.pagination.next_cursor;
} while (cursor);
