What’s Not Available in the API (and Why)

Overview

While the VerseDB API gives access to a wide range of content and user tools, a few features are intentionally excluded from public API access. These decisions are based on security, spam prevention, and moderation control.

Not Available Features

Reviews

Reviews are user-generated content and can be a major target for spam or abuse. To protect quality and ensure moderation, review creation and editing is limited to the main site only.

User Registration

Account creation is handled by VerseDB’s frontend and includes email verification. This process is not exposed through the API to avoid bot signups or abuse.

Content Reporting

Reporting incorrect or inappropriate content requires context and a moderation workflow. To keep things manageable and fair, this process is handled entirely through the web interface.

Administrative Actions

Admin/moderator tasks — such as approving edits, banning users, or editing reward configurations — are restricted to internal tools for security and control reasons.

Why These Limits Exist

• Prevent abuse and spam
• Ensure manual moderation for sensitive content
• Protect user privacy and system integrity
• Maintain a high-quality public API experience

Will These Features Be Added Later?

Some features may become available with stricter access controls (e.g., authenticated Pro users, verified apps), but there's no guarantee. VerseDB prioritizes safety, performance, and community trust when evaluating new API features.

For now, anything not supported by the API can still be managed directly on the main site at:
