Similar questions
Why can't I create an API token?
Token creation requires an eligible plan and organization admin permissions. If you're an admin but don't see the option to create a token, your current plan may not include self-service token management — check your plan under Settings → Billing or contact Sales about upgrading. Logging out and back in won't resolve a plan-related limitation.
Why is my API request failing with a permissions error?
Each API token has specific permissions enabled by an organization admin. If a request fails with a permissions error, an admin can review and update the token's permissions under Settings → API. For historical Context API requests specifically, a permissions error can also mean the account doesn't have the Enterprise historical-access add-on subscription enabled, separate from the token's own permission settings.
Does the Context API offer historical search?
Enterprise API subscriptions can add historical lookups to their API subscription. Contact your Spur sales rep or sales@spur.us to add this.
How can I evaluate the Context API?
Spur does not offer a free tier for the Context API. See current monthly plan pricing at https://app.spur.us/settings/plans. If you are interested in an enterprise license, contact sales@spur.us.
How far back does the Historical Context API go?
The Historical Context API covers approximately the past 2 years of data, available as an add-on subscription on Enterprise plans.

Not every tunnel Spur detects is built to anonymize. The tunnels object's anonymous flag distinguishes corporate/ZTNA infrastructure from services designed to obscure a user's origin.
Why the Organization Field Isn't Available the Same Way Across Spur's Data Feeds
The Context API's per-IP organization field isn't guaranteed in every data feed. Each feed has a different schema and covers a different slice of IP space, so field availability varies by feed.
