Quick Start
Get up and running with the Monopigi API in under 2 minutes.
1. Create an Account
Sign up for a free Monopigi account. The free tier includes 5 API requests per day — no credit card required.
2. Get Your API Key
After signing in, go to the API Tokens page in your dashboard and create a new token. Your key will look like:
mp_live_abc123def456...
3. Make Your First Request
List available data sources:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_live_YOUR_KEY" \
"https://api.monopigi.com/v1/sources"
Browse documents from a specific source:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_live_YOUR_KEY" \
"https://api.monopigi.com/v1/ted/documents?limit=5"
Search across all sources (Pro tier — Free tier can browse documents by source):
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mp_live_YOUR_KEY" \
"https://api.monopigi.com/v1/search?q=hospital+procurement&limit=5"
4. Install the Python SDK
For a better developer experience, install the official Python SDK:
pip install monopigi-sdk
Authenticate once via the CLI:
monopigi auth login mp_live_YOUR_KEY
Then use it in your code:
from monopigi import MonopigiClient
with MonopigiClient() as client:
# List sources
for src in client.sources():
print(f"{src.name}: {src.status}")
# Search across all sources
results = client.search("hospital procurement")
for doc in results.results:
print(doc.title, doc.source)
Or use the CLI directly:
# Search across all sources
monopigi search "energy regulation"
# Browse a specific source
monopigi documents ted --limit 20
# Export to file
monopigi export diavgeia decisions.json --format json
# Check your usage
monopigi usage
5. Explore the Data

# Platform statistics
