Getting Started

Get up and running with the Rick and Morty API in a few quick steps. You'll need an API key to authenticate your requests — no portal gun required.

1. Create an account

Click the Sign In button in the top navigation to create an account via Auth0. You can sign up with your email or use a social login.

2. Choose a plan

Once signed in, head to the API Reference and subscribe to a plan:

3. Get your API key

After subscribing, your API key will be available in the Developer Portal. Copy it — you'll include it as a Bearer token in every request.

4. Make your first request

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key from your dashboard:

Code
 
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/characters/1"

You should get back Rick Sanchez:

Code
 
{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Rick Sanchez",
  "status": "Alive",
  "species": "Human",
  "type": "",
  "gender": "Male",
  "origin": {
    "name": "Earth (C-137)",
    "url": "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/locations/1"
  },
  "location": {
    "name": "Citadel of Ricks",
    "url": "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/locations/3"
  },
  "image": "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/characters/avatar/1.jpeg"
}

Base URL

All API endpoints are served from:

Code
 
https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1

Pagination

List endpoints return paginated results with 20 items per page. The response includes an info object with pagination metadata:

Code
 
{
  "info": {
    "count": 826,
    "pages": 42,
    "next": "https://rickandmorty.zuplo.io/v1/characters?page=2",
    "prev": null
  },
  "results": [...]
}

Use the page query parameter to navigate: ?page=2, ?page=3, etc.
