Authentication

X-API-Key: airisk_your_key_here

Example — Compute and read a risk score

# Keep your key in the environment, not in the command line
export LITTLEDATA_API_KEY=...

# Compute a score for the tenant over the last 24h and store it
curl -X POST "https://littledata.ai/api/v1/risk/scores/compute?scope_type=tenant&period_hours=24" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $LITTLEDATA_API_KEY"

# Read the current score without storing one
curl "https://littledata.ai/api/v1/risk/scores/current?scope_type=tenant" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $LITTLEDATA_API_KEY"

🔧 SDK Installation

The official Python SDK wraps the REST API with typed models, automatic retry, and pagination helpers. The SDK is in public preview.

Install

pip install littledata-sdk

Quick Example

import os
from ai_risk_sdk import AIRiskClient

client = AIRiskClient(
    api_key=os.environ["LITTLEDATA_API_KEY"],
    endpoint="https://littledata.ai",
)

# Record an AI interaction
client.record_event(
    event_type="llm_request",
    prompt="What is the capital of France?",
    response="The capital of France is Paris.",
    model_id="gpt-4",
    model_provider="openai",
)
client.close()

A JavaScript/TypeScript client (@airisk/sdk) is in preview; a Go SDK is planned. See the developer portal for both.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 14-day trial work?

Your trial starts the moment you verify your email. You get full platform access — all frameworks, scoring, reporting, and the API — for 14 days at no cost. No credit card is required to sign up. At the end of the trial, you can subscribe via Wise bank transfer to keep your data and configuration.

What payment methods are accepted?

Littledata.ai accepts payment via Wise bank transfer, which supports multi-currency payments from over 70 countries. Plans and current prices are listed on the pricing page. Enterprise contracts with PO/invoice billing are available — contact us.

How do I add team members?

Go to Settings → User Management in the dashboard. You can invite colleagues by email and assign them scoped permissions (read-only, analyst, admin). SSO via OIDC is available on the Enterprise plan for centralised identity management.

Is my data encrypted?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS (TLS, with HSTS enforced), and the managed PostgreSQL database is encrypted at rest by our hosting provider's storage-level volume encryption. API keys are never stored in a recoverable form — they are stored as SHA-256 hashes, so even we cannot read them back. SSO/OIDC client secrets are additionally encrypted at rest with field-level Fernet encryption (AES-128-CBC + HMAC-SHA256). The platform is hosted on Render's managed infrastructure in Frankfurt (EU). Your data is logically isolated per tenant — application queries are filtered by tenant, and automated cross-tenant isolation tests check that one tenant cannot read or change another tenant's data.

What compliance frameworks do you support?

Littledata.ai supports 10+ frameworks including EU AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, SOC2 Type II, GDPR Article 22, EU AI Liability Directive, UK AI frameworks, Irish AI Bill, Singapore Model AI Governance Framework, US State AI Laws (Colorado, Texas, and 10+ others), and OWASP Agentic AI Top 10.

How do I contact support?

Email support@littledata.com for technical help. Response times are typically under 4 business hours during EU/UK business hours. For urgent production issues, include "URGENT" in the subject line. Enterprise customers get a dedicated Slack channel and SLA guarantee.
