Features

One predictable API for reference data

Live12 DB serves curated reference datasets from 30 regional edge endpoints. Same schema, same response, wherever your request lands.

⚡

Edge replication

Every dataset is replicated to all 30 regions. Requests resolve to the closest node via geo-routing, or pin a region with a subdomain.

🔑

Simple auth

A single Bearer token, passed in the Authorization header. Per-key rate limits are reported in standard response headers.

📦

Stable schemas

Datasets are versioned under /v1. Breaking changes ship under a new path — never silently in place.

🌍

30 regions

From Amsterdam to Singapore. Let anycast pick the nearest node, or target de, us, jp directly.

📈

Observability

Each response carries X-Request-Id and X-Live12-Region; protected endpoints add rate-limit headers.

📚

OpenAPI

A complete OpenAPI 3 spec documents every endpoint and drives our reference docs.

Consistent, versioned responses

Every region returns identical JSON for the same request. No SDK is required — plain HTTPS and JSON, with a Bearer token for protected endpoints.

Standard error envelope on every failure
Rate-limit headers on protected endpoints
ISO 8601 timestamps and IANA timezone names
Filter countries by ISO code or currency
