Build with the Pixel Parents API
This API is limited to use by OHS families only
Encourage your child(ren) to code (or vibe code!) something fun with this API!
Once approved, your key returns counts and taxonomies only — never any PII like names, emails, phones, or photos.
Request API access →How access works
1. Request access
Create an account and tell us what you want to build.
2. We review it
We approve requests from OHS families by hand — you'll get an email.
3. Build
Once approved, reveal your API key and start calling the endpoints.
Endpoints
Most endpoints require an approved key (the discovery, health, and OpenAPI endpoints are public). Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer <your-key>.
GET/api/v1Discovery index — no key needed
GET/api/v1/healthLiveness + version — no key needed
GET/api/v1/openapi.jsonOpenAPI 3.1 spec — no key needed
GET/api/v1/meConfirms your key is valid
GET/api/v1/statsHigh-level totals — filterable
GET/api/v1/breakdownsCounts by state / affiliation / tech depth / time / skillset / grade — filterable
GET/api/v1/trendsSignups over time (?interval=week|month)
GET/api/v1/optionsOption taxonomies + interests pool (non-PII)
POST/api/mcpMCP server — query the data from an AI agent

}Filtering, trends & tooling
- Filter any aggregate with query params, e.g.
/api/v1/breakdowns?state=CA&tech_depth=10x%20Developer. To protect a small community, filtered counts below 5 are suppressed. - Track growth with
/api/v1/trends?interval=week— signups over time plus a running cumulative. - Generate a typed client from the OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
- Query from an AI agent — point any MCP client at
/api/mcp(tools:community_stats,community_breakdowns,community_trends,community_options).
Connect to Claude
The API also speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), so you can ask Claude (or any AI agent) about the community in plain language.
Remote MCP clients (Claude.ai custom connectors, and other clients that accept a server URL) — paste this URL and add Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY as a header:
https://pixelparents.org/api/mcp
Claude Desktop only speaks stdio, so bridge to the remote server with mcp-remote. Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pixel-parents": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://pixelparents.org/api/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"
]
}
}
}Discovery (listing tools) is open; calling a tool needs your approved key. Tools: community_stats, community_breakdowns, community_trends, community_options.
