}About the Lion Strategy API
Case Study Endpoints
The list_case_studies endpoint returns all 12 anonymised case study summaries in a single response. Two optional parameters let you narrow results: sector filters by industry vertical and decision filters by the type of strategic decision the engagement addressed (e.g. capital commitment, transaction, growth strategy). The response includes a total count and an array of summary objects, each carrying a slug you pass to the detail endpoint.
The get_case_study endpoint accepts a slug from the list response and returns the full record: title, subtitle (client type, scope, and duration), description, challenge, work, result, and a stats array of labelled numeric outcomes. The tags array carries classification terms useful for grouping engagements by theme.
Essay Endpoints
The list_essays endpoint takes no parameters and returns every essay published in Lion Strategy's Thinking section as summary objects with slugs, covering topics including AI, judgement, trust, and the economics of intelligence. The get_essay endpoint accepts a slug and returns the complete essay: title, subtitle (the lede), topic, publish_date, read_time, and a sections array where each element has a heading and content field. This structure lets you reconstruct the full essay body without any parsing.
The Lion Strategy API is a managed, monitored endpoint for Lionstrategy.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when Lionstrategy.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official Lionstrategy.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
