Data layer
LayoffAlert Data API
We already scrape WARN, score risk, and keep company records. This product is that layer, billed separately from community Premium. REST and MCP expose the same queries. Auth is a hashed lw_live_ key, or an mcpmarket subscriber token.
$29 / month

|---|---|---|
| /api/v1/layoffs | /api/mcp/layoffs | Confirmed layoff events in a look-back window, with totals. |
| /api/v1/warn | /api/mcp/warn | WARN filings — the legal notice that precedes a layoff. |
| /api/v1/companies | /api/mcp/companies | Every tracked employer with layoffs, rolled up. |
| /api/v1/company | /api/mcp/company | One company: history, WARN, ticker if public, AI risk. |
| /api/v1/risk | /api/mcp/risk | AI layoff risk scores. Labelled as predictions, not plans. |
| /api/v1/stats | /api/mcp/stats | Companies tracked, WARN totals, YTD laid off, high-risk count. |
Machine-readable spec: /api/v1/openapi · /api/mcp/openapi. Watchlist stays on MCP for marketplace subscribers; it is not part of the billed data layer.
