API Documentation

Access all Ping64 diagnostic tools programmatically via a simple REST API. Authenticate with an API key and start making requests in seconds.

Quick start

1

Get an API key

Go to Account → API keys → Create a new key. Requires a Starter or Pro plan.

2

Make a request

Send a POST request with your API key in the Authorization header.

Example — DNS Lookup
curl -X POST https://ping64.io/api/v1/tools/dns-lookup \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer p64_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain": "example.com", "type": "A"}'

Authentication

All API requests must include your API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer scheme:

Authorization: Bearer p64_YOUR_API_KEY

API keys are created from your Account page. Keep your keys secret — do not share them in public repositories or client-side code.

Rate limits

API usage is metered monthly per API key. Limits reset on the first of each month (UTC).

PlanMonthly limitPrice
FreeNo API access€0/mo
Starter1,000 calls/mo€9/mo
Pro50,000 calls/mo€24/mo

When you exceed your limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests.

Base URL

https://ping64.io/api/v1/tools/{tool-id}

All tool endpoints accept POST requests with a JSON body and return JSON responses.

Response format

Successful responses return the tool's result directly as a JSON object. Error responses follow a consistent format:

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "RATE_LIMITED",
    "message": "Monthly API limit reached (1000/1000)"
  }
}
