Flat response (default)

{
  "data": {
    "tokens": [
      {
        "key": "color.brand.primary",
        "type": "color",
        "value": { "scale": "brand", "step": 500 }

Get a single token

Retrieve a token by name using path segments:
curl https://humic.dev/api/v1/tokens/color/brand/primary \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key"
{
  "data": {
    "key": "color.brand.primary",
    "type": "color",
    "value": { "scale": "brand", "step": 500 }
  }
}
Returns 404 if the token does not exist.

Token value shapes

Each token type has a specific value structure:
// color — references a scale + step
{ "scale": "brand", "step": 500, "darkStep": 400 }

// spacing, radius, font.size
{ "value": 16, "unit": "px" }

// font.weight
{ "value": 700 }

// font.family
{ "value": "Inter" }

// font.lineHeight
{ "value": 1.25, "unit": "multiplier" }

// font.letterSpacing
{ "value": 0.025, "unit": "em" }

// shadow
{ "x": 0, "y": 1, "blur": 3, "spread": 0, "colorToken": "color.shadow", "opacity": 0.1 }

// opacity, z-index, duration
{ "value": 0.5 }

// easing
{ "value": "cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)" }

// boolean
{ "value": true }

// primitive reference (any non-color type)
{ "primitive": "spacing.md" }
