API products for African teams.
The offer is simple: reusable African data and calculators for teams that cannot afford to rebuild tax, currency, fuel, and country logic market by market.
Fintech and accounting tools
Power VAT, FX, rate, and local business-data features inside dashboards, calculators, quote flows, and customer education surfaces.
Media, research, and marketplaces
Use fuel, rate, country, and market-data feeds to keep public pages, partner reports, and African business products current.
Endpoint catalog.
These public v1 routes are available for testing, documentation, and scoped production integrations. Sandbox keys return deterministic examples. Dashboard keys unlock production endpoints where a route supports authenticated access.

How teams move from test to production.
The API is built to be easy to try without pretending every production use case is identical. Higher-volume and compliance-sensitive integrations go through a fit review.
Try the sandbox
Use a test key such as afro_test_demo123456789 for deterministic PAYE, VAT, tax-rate, country, FX, fuel, and rate examples.
Create a free key
Signed-in users can create dashboard keys with 100 requests/day and 3,000 requests/month.
Run a pilot
API Growth and API Pro add higher limits, setup support, and an endpoint-fit review before production use.
Contract the data
Enterprise/custom covers negotiated limits, custom data scope, invoice billing, and dedicated implementation support.
Honest enough for production conversations.
The API separates sandbox examples, source-backed endpoints, free dashboard keys, and paid pilots so teams know exactly what they can test today and what needs commercial review.
Public routes sit under /api/v1, with breaking changes reserved for a new version and at least 90 days of notice.
/api/v1/health reports source-backed categories, source names, update time, and age in minutes where available.
Paid Growth, Pro, and Enterprise access is activated after scope, limits, support, and production-fit review.
Pricing that maps to real API use cases.
Free is for testing and small prototypes. Growth and Pro are for real product pilots. Enterprise/custom is for custom data scope, procurement, and dedicated support.

API buyer questions.
The API path is designed for developers who want to test first and business teams that need production scope reviewed before promises are made.
Can developers test before a sales call?
Yes. Developers can use sandbox examples and create a free dashboard key for supported authenticated endpoints before requesting a paid pilot.
Which teams are a fit?
Payroll, HR, fintech, accounting, media, research, and marketplace teams are the best fit when they need reusable African tax, VAT, FX, fuel, rate, or country data.
When does an integration need review?
Paid pilots, higher-volume use, compliance-sensitive products, custom data scope, and production claims need review before activation.
Start with a sandbox call. Move to a paid pilot when the use case is real.
Developers can test immediately, business teams can request a paid pilot, and enterprise teams can see a clear path from prototype to contracted data access.
