FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Archade, profiles, projects, and trust.

Do I need permission to create a profile?

No. You can exist and publish without permission.

Do I need to pay to get verified?

No. Verification is earned by adding evidence and relationships: projects, credits, team links, and consistency.

What should I add first: posts or projects?

Projects first. Posts are powerful, but projects are the durable proof node in the graph.

What’s the minimum number of projects I should have?

2 is the practical minimum for a “rich” profile that starts compounding.

How do company reviews become “Verified Employee”?

When the reviewer is linked to the company via membership/team relationship.

I want my company page to be controlled by the right people. How?

Use the company claim flow:

/c/[type]/[slug]/claim

Datasets and API

Can I use the datasets without an account?

Yes. You can explore samples (up to 100 entities per request, 10 req/min) without signing up. See Datasets and Dataset API Access.

Why do I get 403 when fetching a dataset?

We block automated scrapers (Scrapy, curl, etc.). Send a descriptive User-Agent header (e.g. MyApp/1.0 (contact@example.com)) and use an API key for programmatic access. See API Access.

Why do I get 401 on the Embeddings dataset?

The Embeddings dataset requires a Commercial or Enterprise API key. Research-tier keys do not grant access. Contact legal@archade.app for access.
