Pitchwire Publishes Its Developer API and OpenAPI Specification

DALLAS, Texas, July 9, 2026 /Pitchwire/ — Pitchwire today announced that its full developer API and a machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 specification are publicly documented. Developers and automation builders now have a complete programmatic path from first draft to distributed press release.

The REST API covers the entire release lifecycle. Developers can check an account balance and available plans, submit a release for editorial review, edit it, and list or retrieve releases at any time. Approved releases can be published to the company newsroom and then distributed across wire and digital channels, all from the same API.

Authentication uses per-account API keys as bearer tokens. Account holders generate and revoke keys in their settings, and every key is scoped to its own account and releases.

The API is built for production automation. Submissions accept idempotency keys, so a retried request never bills twice. Webhook callbacks notify integrations when editorial review completes, and every delivery is cryptographically signed so receivers can verify it came from Pitchwire.

Rate limiting protects the editorial pipeline from runaway scripts. When an integration runs out of paid releases, the API returns a structured payment response that includes a checkout link, so billing never becomes a silent failure inside an automation.

The complete specification is served at pitchwire.ai/api/v1/openapi.json. Client libraries and integration platforms can generate typed bindings directly from the source. A quickstart guide, endpoint reference, webhook documentation and error-code catalog are published at pitchwire.ai/developers.

"Developers should not have to guess what an API does," said Nicolai Robles, founder of Pitchwire. "The entire surface is documented in a spec a machine can read. If you can send an HTTP request, you can file a press release, and everything you file goes through the same editorial review as every other release on the platform."

The developer API is available on every plan at no additional charge. Pricing is flat per release, with no subscription and no platform fee. Media inquiries can be sent to hello@pitchwire.ai.
