Explore APIs
Surface questions and articles that pull a reader deeper into your content. These endpoints power the Explore front-end module.
| Endpoint | Use it for |
|---|---|
related_questions |
Questions to show under an article |
trending_questions |
What readers are asking across the site |
query_suggestion |
Type-ahead over trending questions |
All of them are fast, read-only, and safe to call on page load.
Examples
Example 1 — Questions under an article (simplest)
POST /v1/ask/related_questions
{ "product_id": "art-20260612-rates", "rows": 5 }
{
"data": {
"related_questions": [
"What is the central bank's inflation forecast?",
"How will the rate decision affect mortgages?"
]
}
}
Render each string as a clickable chip. Send the reader to your answers page with the question pre-filled.
Example 2 — Trending questions on a homepage
POST /v1/ask/trending_questions
{ "rows": 10 }
For a multi-brand site, scope them:
POST /v1/ask/trending_questions
{ "rows": 10, "_meta": { "site": "markets" } }
{
"data": {
"miso_id": "b7c9…",
"related_questions": ["…", "…"]
}
}
Example 3 — Type-ahead over trending questions
As the reader types, complete against what other readers ask:
POST /v1/ask/query_suggestion
{ "q": "interest ra" }
{
"message": "success",
"data": {
"took": 3,
"completions": [
"interest rate cuts 2026",
"interest rates and mortgages"
]
}
}
