Quickstart
Go from zero to your first Neural Snapshot in under five minutes. All you need is a NeuralSnap account and an API key.
Base URL
https://neuralsnap.ai/api/v1Create an account
Head over to neuralsnap.ai/signup and create your free account. A default brain is provisioned automatically — you can start adding snapshots straight away.
Get your API key
Navigate to Settings → API Keys and click Generate Key. Copy the key — you'll need it for every request.
Create your first snapshot
Send a POST to /snapshots with a JSON body:
curl -X POST https://neuralsnap.ai/api/v1/snapshots \-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"name": "Building in public works","core": "Revenue transparency drives engagement","type": "Conviction","confidence": 0.9,"tags": ["growth", "content"]}'
You'll get back a full snapshot object with an id, timestamps, and the fields you sent.
Search your knowledge
Query your brain with natural language using the search endpoint:
curl "https://neuralsnap.ai/api/v1/snapshots/search?q=growth+strategy" \-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Results are ranked by semantic similarity — even if you search for "audience growth tactics" it'll match your "Building in public" snapshot.
Crystallize raw text
Instead of manually crafting snapshots, let the AI crystallize unstructured text into structured knowledge:
curl -X POST https://neuralsnap.ai/api/v1/crystallize \-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \-H "Content-Type: application/json" \-d '{"text": "In our Q4 planning meeting we agreed that doubling down on short-form video is the highest-leverage play. TikTok and Reels drive 3x more signups than blog posts, and the production cost is actually lower once the workflow is dialled in.","source_type": "manual"}'
The API returns one or more fully-formed 16-field Neural Snapshots extracted from your text — no manual structuring needed.
Explore your brain
Once you've added a handful of snapshots, open the Brain Graph to see your knowledge come alive. Snapshots cluster by semantic similarity, and you can zoom, filter, and click through to explore connections between your ideas.
