hit the curl. ~800ms TTFB.

if this is truly "real-time" and not a cached graph, how do you handle rate limiting and CAPTCHAs at scale? Even with "public" data, on-demand scraping usually requires massive residential proxy rotation which eats that $0.03 margin alive.

if you tried the curl command then yes this is indeed fast. the example curl command is hardcoded, john.smith@example.com is used with a static response for the purposes of allowing users to test the shape of the api without needing to be authed. low time to first test was my aim.

keen to hear if you have a use case for something like this?


imo this is missing fiction which is a key part of building empathy, becoming a better communicator and also just enjoying yourself


I fail to see how any of those points will make me any money.

I'm here to make a trillion-dollar startup that dominates the competition, not any of that wishy-washy nonsense.
