The LeadAfrik API

Put our Kenya calculators in your own product. Payroll, tax, fees and the live statutory rates — the same numbers our tools show — as clean JSON. No key, no sign-up, CORS open, and every endpoint has a live console you can run right here.

Base URL

https://www.leadafrik.com/api/v1

Every response has the same shape, so it is easy to follow:

// success
{ "ok": true,  "data": { ... }, "meta": { "version": "v1", "ratesAsOf": "…" } }

// error
{ "ok": false, "error": { "code": "invalid_input", "message": "…" } }

Start with GET https://www.leadafrik.com/api/v1 — it lists every endpoint. Every compute endpoint reads one live rates registry, so the API can never drift from the tools.
