# API reference (/docs/api-reference)



Use the API when your agent needs direct HTTP access to ViralQuery. The customer-facing endpoints
let it configure a research brief, run bounded tenant-scoped scrolls, and read the resulting private
library, outliers, trends, hooks, and annotations.

For the agent-first setup, start with **[MCP](/docs/mcp/install)**. For a direct request flow, see
**[Quickstart](/docs/quickstart)** or choose an endpoint from the sidebar.

Machine readers can use the canonical **[OpenAPI JSON](/openapi.json)** or append `.md` to any
API-reference URL for a complete Markdown operation with expanded request and response schemas.
