Integrate CITAQ into your existing stack.

CITAQ provides a structured API and MCP endpoint for direct integration. Connect your catalog via CSV, custom API, or platform plugin. Query verified product data programmatically. Build on top of the verification layer.

Integration Options

Three ways to connect.

Option 1
Platform Integration (no code)
–Connect Shopify, WooCommerce, or Amazon via OAuth or plugin.
–No custom development required.
–Read-only access. Your catalog is never modified.
Option 2
CSV Upload
–Upload your product catalog as a structured CSV.
–Required fields: product identifier, product name, claim text per row.
–CITAQ processes the upload and begins claim identification.
Option 3
Direct API
–REST API for programmatic catalog submission and evidence management.
–Authentication via API key (JWT, 15-minute expiry).
–Rate limits: 100 requests/minute standard, configurable per account.
–Full API reference at docs.citaq.io/api.
