Causal API

If you want to pull data into Causal please use one of the supported data integrations. If you want to get data out of Causal use the Google Sheet/Excel/CSV Export. For Enterprise customers we also support exports directly into a data warehouse (Snowflake/BigQuery/...).
Use the API if you want to programmatically update the structure of your model.

Quick Start - Example

# clone
curl https://my.causal.app/public_api/causal_model/MODEL_ID/clone -X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer {{TOKEN}}'
# returns {"new_id": NEW_MODEL_ID}
# change variable from 10k to 20k
curl https://my.causal.app/public_api/causal_model/MODEL_ID -X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer {{TOKEN}}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"delta": { "VARIABLE_ID": "20000" } }'
# returns { "success": true }

Edit model

You can use this to make persistent changes to a model's variables.
POST /api/causal_model/{id}
body: {
// this is a map from causal variable id to value;
// if you want your variable to vary over time you have to set a value for EVERY timestep;
// time segments are not supported yet
delta: {
"id0": ["2","5","10"],
"id1": "2 to 4",
}
}
example response:
{ "success": true }
