API reference and test console
This is the live API contract and request console, not a separate copy of the guides. It
lists every operation you can call at https://quicklookup.com/api/v1/…. Enter an API key
from your account page to send test requests to the same endpoints your application uses.
The key stays in this tab's sessionStorage; it is not written to local storage and is only
sent to this site.
Use the query workbench when the task is to find a service and run its published example. Use this reference when you need endpoint parameters, request and response schemas, error responses, or another operation. Links in the task guides open the matching operation here; successful requests and failures remain visible beside the contract being tested.
For time series, start with Time-series families. One family response explains the
common measurement, every authorized source/resolution/publication/quality choice, and the
recommended concrete variant. Query only the returned concrete queryUrl; family GIDs are
deliberately not executable, so source selection is never hidden from the client.
MCP clients follow the same flow with list_time_series_families,
get_time_series_family, and query_data_service; they do not need to rediscover each
source or resolution as an unrelated time series.
Use Saved context to curate the services, time-series families, and event searches
relevant to an account or person. The schemas are discriminated by kind; time-series
definitions cannot contain event filters or stored periods, and event definitions cannot
masquerade as catalogue family selections. Resolve catalogue entries with the items
operation and query event context with a fresh runtime period/location.
The console cannot grant access or bypass lifecycle checks. A visible operation can still return a documented authorization, plan or validation error for the selected object and request.
