# Beta program

The SciSpace API is in **public beta**. Request access with the **Apply for API Access** form.

## What beta means

| | |
|---|---|
| Access | apply with the Apply for API Access form |
| Beta credits | 1,000 one-off, on top of the Developer plan's 500/month |
| Availability | 99.9% target, but no SLA on any plan except Enterprise |
| Breaking changes | announced 30 days ahead in the changelog and by email |
| Support | `api-support@scispace.com`, 2 business days |

GA endpoints follow the full versioning policy.

## Getting access

1. Apply with the **Apply for API Access** form
2. We email your key once the request is approved
3. Follow the quickstart

Beta credits are applied when your key is issued.

## What we want feedback on

Endpoint naming and shape, the citation locator format, whether depth tiers map to
real decisions you make, and anything where the docs told you one thing and the API did another.
Email `api-feedback@scispace.com` with the `X-Request-Id`.

## Leaving beta

GA is announced in the changelog. The v1 surface and the `2026-08-01` version date carry forward —
GA is not a rewrite.
