  title: PickFu API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The PickFu API enables programmatic access to create surveys, retrieve
    results, and integrate PickFu into your workflows.


    ## Overview


    PickFu helps you get instant consumer feedback through surveys. With the
    API, you can:


    - Create surveys programmatically

    - Retrieve survey results and respondent data

    - Target specific audiences with demographic traits

    - Integrate PickFu into your product development workflow


    ## Rate Limits


    Selected endpoints (currently the CSV export endpoints) enforce per-caller
    rate limits and return `429 Too Many Requests` when exceeded. See each
    endpoint description for its specific budget.


    ## Authentication


    All API requests require a Bearer token — either an API key or an OAuth 2.0
    access token. See the [Authentication
    guide](https://www.pickfu.com/docs/developers/authentication) for details.
