Overview

Moonbase’s REST API enables programmatic access to your core Moonbase data, including people, organizations, deals, tasks, and more.

Quick Start

Let’s make your first API request to list items from your Moonbase collections.

TypeScript
Python
Go
Ruby
cURL

Prerequisites

You’ll need an API key from your organization settings in Moonbase. Once you have it, set it as an environment variable:

export MOONBASE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

List Your Data

Fetch and display all organizations from your collection. The SDK automatically handles pagination to retrieve all details of the organizations collection.

import Moonbase from "@moonbaseai/sdk";

// Initialize the Moonbase client
const moonbase = new Moonbase({
  apiKey: process.env.MOONBASE_API_KEY, // default, can be omitted
});

// This returns an AsyncIterator<Item>
const organizations = moonbase.collections.items.list("organizations");

// Loop through the items and print the "name" value
for await (const org of organizations) {
  console.log(org.values.name.data);
}

Example output:

OrbGrid
TechStart Inc
Global Systems
Innovate Labs
...

List Your Data

import os
from moonbase import Moonbase

moonbase = Moonbase(
    api_key=os.environ.get("MOONBASE_API_KEY"),  # default, can be omitted
)

# Auto-paginated: fetches all items across multiple pages
organizations = moonbase.collections.items.list(collection_id="organizations")

# Loop through items and access fields by their ref
for org in organizations:
    print(org.values['name'].data)

Example output:

OrbGrid
TechStart Inc
Global Systems
Innovate Labs
...

package main

import (

    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/moonbaseai/moonbase-sdk-go"
    "github.com/moonbaseai/moonbase-sdk-go/option"
)

func main() {
    client := moonbase.NewClient(
        option.WithAPIKey(os.Getenv("MOONBASE_API_KEY")), // default, can be omitted
    )

    // Auto-paginated: fetches all items across multiple pages
    organizations := client.Collections.Items.ListAutoPaging(
        context.TODO(), 
        "organizations",
        moonbase.ItemListParams{},
    )
    
    for organizations.Next() {
        org := organizations.Current()
        if nameField, exists := org.Values["name"]; exists {
            fmt.Println(nameField.Data.OfString)
        }
    }
    
    if err := organizations.Err(); err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Error fetching organizations: %v", err)
    }
}

Example output:

OrbGrid
TechStart Inc
Global Systems
Innovate Labs
...

require "moonbase"

)

organizations = moonbase.collections.items.list("organizations")

organizations.auto_paging_each do |org|
  puts org.values[:name].data
end

Global Systems
Innovate Labs
...

Prerequisites

List Items from a Collection

Make a GET request to retrieve items from a collection:

curl https://api.moonbase.ai/v0/collections/organizations/items \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MOONBASE_API_KEY"

Note: This returns the first page of results. To fetch additional pages, use the cursor from the response.

Understanding the Response

A successful response returns a JSON object with your items:

{
  "type": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1CLJt2ub4MavjpDF6NV14F",
      "type": "item",
      "values": {
        "name": {"type": "value/text/single_line", "data": "OrbGrid"},
        "updated_at": {"type": "value/datetime", "data": "2025-02-17T16:00:00.000Z"}
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "1CLJt2ub4MavjpDF6NV14G",
      "type": "item",
      "values": {
        "name": {"type": "value/text/single_line", "data": "TechStart Inc"},
        "updated_at": {"type": "value/datetime", "data": "2025-02-17T16:00:00.000Z"}
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "1CLJt2ub4MavjpDF6NV14H",
      "type": "item",
      "values": {
        "name": {"type": "value/text/single_line", "data": "Global Systems"},
        "updated_at": {"type": "value/datetime", "data": "2025-02-17T16:00:00.000Z"}
      }
    }
    ...
  ],
  "meta": {
    "cursors": {
      "next": "eyJwYWdlIjoyfQ"
    }
  }
}

To fetch the next page, include the cursor as a query parameter:

curl "https://api.moonbase.ai/v0/collections/organizations/items?after=eyJwYWdlIjoyfQ" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MOONBASE_API_KEY"
