curl -X POST https://api.axiom.dev/v2/datasets/logs/query \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer axm_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "apl": "logs | where status >= 400 | top 10 by count()",
    "startTime": "2026-02-01T00:00:00Z",
    "endTime": "2026-03-01T00:00:00Z"
  }'

Endpoints

All endpoints are versioned under /v2 and accept JSON request bodies. Responses include standard pagination cursors and rate limit headers.

GET

/v2/datasets

List all datasets in your workspace with pagination and filtering support.

POST

/v2/datasets/{id}/query

Execute SQL or APL queries against a specific dataset with streaming results.

PUT

/v2/pipelines

Create or update an ingestion pipeline with transformation rules and routing.

DELETE

/v2/monitors/{id}

Remove a monitor and its associated alert configurations permanently.

Authentication

Axiom uses API tokens for authentication. Include your token in the Authorization header of every request. Tokens can be scoped to specific datasets and actions.

We support two token types: Personal tokens for development and testing, and Service tokens for production workloads with fine-grained permissions.

All API traffic is encrypted via TLS 1.3. Tokens are hashed at rest and can be rotated without downtime.

Rate Limits

Rate limits are applied per-token and vary by plan. Free tier allows 100 requests/minute, Pro allows 1,000, and Enterprise limits are custom.

Free100 req/min
