Statistics API

Compute comprehensive descriptive statistics from any array of numbers via REST API. Returns mean, median, mode, standard deviation, variance, min, max, sum, count, range, and common percentiles (p25, p50, p75, p90, p95, p99) in a single call.

How it works

POST a JSON array of numbers. The API computes all standard descriptive statistics and returns them as a structured object. Handles arrays of any size up to the API input limit.

Use cases

• Summarize numeric data in analytics dashboards without a stats library
• Validate data distributions before training ML models
• Compute SLO/SLA statistics from latency measurement arrays
• Generate statistical summaries for data QA pipelines
• Add descriptive stats to reports generated by AI agents

Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://slopshop.gg/v1/math-statistics",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"input": "your data here"}
)
result = response.json()
print(result["data"])

Node.js

const response = await fetch("https://slopshop.gg/v1/math-statistics", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ input: "your data here" })
});
const { data } = await response.json();
console.log(data);

CLI

# Install the Slopshop CLI
npm install -g slopshop

# Set your API key
export SLOPSHOP_KEY=your_api_key

# Call math-statistics
