  title: TiC Explorer Admin API
  description: '**TiC Explorer** — negotiated health-care prices from **Transparency in Coverage** files (every in-network rate a plan pays each

    billing entity), Original Medicare fee schedules and, as a secondary source, hospitals'' own price files (each hospital''s

    posted rate per payer/plan as it wrote them, mostly facility charges, and its discounted cash price) — with the billing

    semantics needed to use them correctly: allowed vs billed vs patient share, global vs 26/TC, office vs facility rates, hospital outpatient APC

    case rates and packaging, placeholders and percent-of-charges contracts, and per-row provenance.


    **Start with** `GET /v1/guide` (billing mechanics, field dictionary, worked examples) and `GET /v1/workflows`.


    **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer `. Get a key in the console at https://ticexplorer.com/dashboard/keys (self-hosted:

    `python -m api keys create` or `POST /v1/admin/keys`). The MCP endpoint `https://api.ticexplorer.com/mcp` accepts the same API keys

    or OAuth 2.1 access tokens, e.g. `claude mcp add --transport http ticexplorer https://api.ticexplorer.com/mcp`.


    **Conventions:** list responses are `{"data": [...], "next_cursor": ...}` (pass `cursor`); errors are

    `{"error": {"code", "message", "hint"}}`; every response has `X-Request-Id`, `X-RateLimit-Limit`,

    `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`. Responses carry `needs` (missing inputs that change the answer) and

    `next_steps`.'
