What you can build

One API. Many workflows.

ApplianceIQ drops into any stack that needs to know something about a physical appliance.

🏥

Insurance claim intake

Verify appliance age and recall status at claim submission. Reduce wrongful denials and over-payments automatically.

🌐

Marketplace listing verification

Verify seller-provided appliance details against real data. Flag recalled units before they list.

🏠

Real-estate inspection apps

Enrich inspection reports with verified appliance profiles — recall status, age, and remaining life per unit.

📡

IoT device-to-warranty matching

Match a connected device's model number to its warranty record and recall history in real time.

🔔

Proactive recall alerts

Use webhooks to fire when a model you've indexed gets recalled. Alert customers before they know.

⚙️

Internal ops tooling

Enrich your internal repair, claims, or property management platform with real appliance data — no scraping required.

Endpoints at a glance

Simple surface area.
Serious depth.

Four endpoints cover the full product. Start with /v1/lookup — it returns everything.

Method	Path	Description
POST	/v1/lookup	Full appliance profile from model number + optional serial. Returns all 12 data points with per-field confidence scores.
GET	/v1/recalls/{model}	Just the recall data for a model. Faster and cheaper if that's all you need. Returns multiple Verified Government Safety Databasess, EU sources.
POST	/v1/ocr/label	Send an image of an appliance nameplate. Returns extracted brand, model, and serial. Then pass to /v1/lookup for the full profile.
GET	/v1/rate-limit-info	Your current usage window — calls made, remaining, reset timestamp. Use before bulk jobs.

Built for production

No surprises when you ship.

⚡

Latency

p50 < 800ms cached · p50 < 4s uncached. Results are cached 90 days across all customers — your second lookup is fast regardless of who queried first.

🟢

Uptime

99.9% SLA on paid tiers. Status at status.applianceiq.com. Webhooks fire when any monitored model gets a new recall — even while you sleep.

💳

Pricing

Per-call — no minimums on the dev tier. $0.05/call after the free 100/mo. Startup tier is $99/mo for 5,000 calls. Volume pricing on Scale. No annual contracts on dev or startup.

🔐

Auth & security

API key in X-API-Key header. Keys are per-environment — generate separate keys for dev and prod. All traffic over TLS 1.3. No plaintext secrets stored.

📦

SDKs

Official SDKs for Node.js and Python. Others on request. Or call the REST API directly — it's straightforward JSON, no SDK required.

🔔

Webhooks

Subscribe to recall events by model. When official safety databases issues a new recall for a model in your index, we POST to your endpoint within 60 seconds. Available on Startup and Scale tiers.

Response anatomy

Every field explained.

The response always includes overall_confidence and per-field sources. If we can't verify a field, it returns null with an explanation — never a fabricated answer.

HIGH

Sourced from an authoritative government or OEM database. Cross-validated by at least 3 agents.

MED

Sourced from one authoritative source. Cross-validated by 1–2 agents. Use with appropriate tolerance.

LOW

Inferred or partially matched. Review manually before using in a compliance context.
