Build on Africa with one API surface.
Mansa API exposes live African market data plus location and identity reference endpoints for developers and AI systems. Start with a free key, then move into higher limits when your product is ready.

Getting started for AI agents.
Check platform status and market freshness before running heavier workflows.
Markets endpoints currently target 30-minute freshness during market hours.
