FAQ
Questions, answered
What is WorkoutDB?
WorkoutDB is a freemium REST API for exercise data: 873+ exercises with structured fields (body part, target muscle, equipment, difficulty), demo video and photos, ranked fuzzy search, and content in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.
Is there a free tier?
Yes — 5,000 requests per month with no credit card required. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for 100,000 requests.
How do I authenticate with the API?
Create an API key in the dashboard and send it as an X-API-Key header (or Authorization: Bearer). Every response uses the envelope { data, meta, requestId }.
Does WorkoutDB support languages other than English?
Yes. Add ?lang=es, ?lang=pt, or ?lang=fr to any endpoint to get Spanish, Portuguese, or French names, descriptions, and instructions from the same routes.
How do I integrate it with an AI agent?
Point your agent at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt — self-contained, llms.txt-convention guides covering auth, the response envelope, errors, and every endpoint with examples. A machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 spec and a Postman collection are also published.
