Investor Plus

REST API

Programmatic access to the same valuation data and engine that powers the calculator. Useful for funds, secondary marketplaces, and platforms integrating private-company comps.

Authentication

Every request must include an Authorization header with a Bearer token. You'll get one by signing up for Investor Plus from the pricing page. Tokens always start with pp_.

Authorization: Bearer pp_demo_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Token validation is currently permissive: any token starting with pp_ works against the public endpoints. Real per-customer tokens will be issued automatically when you subscribe to Investor Plus through the pricing page.
