API Integrations

Overview

This section provides guides and best practices for integrating our API into your applications and workflows. Whether you're building custom dashboards, automating tasks, or connecting with other services, our robust API makes it easy.

Common Integration Patterns

Explore the most frequent ways developers leverage our API:

  • Data Synchronization: Keeping your data in sync with our platform.
  • Workflow Automation: Triggering actions and managing processes programmatically.
  • Custom Reporting: Fetching data to build tailored analytics and reports.
  • User Provisioning: Managing user accounts and permissions through the API.

Getting Started with Integrations

Before you begin, ensure you have generated an API key from your account settings. You'll need this key for authentication in all your API requests.

For a detailed walkthrough of the authentication process, please refer to our Authentication guide.

Example: Fetching User Data

Here's an example of how to fetch a list of users using our REST API:

GET /v1/users

Request Headers

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/json

Query Parameters

Name Type Description Required
limit integer The maximum number of results to return. No
offset integer The number of results to skip. No
status string Filter users by their status (e.g., 'active', 'inactive'). No

Example Response

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "usr_123abc",
      "name": "Alice Smith",
      "email": "alice.smith@example.com",
      "status": "active",
      "created_at": "2023-10-26T10:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "id": "usr_456def",
      "name": "Bob Johnson",
      "email": "bob.johnson@example.com",
      "status": "active",
      "created_at": "2023-10-26T11:30:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "next_cursor": "cursor_xyz789",
    "has_more": true
  }
}

SDKs and Libraries

To simplify your integration process, we provide official SDKs for popular programming languages. These libraries abstract away the complexities of making HTTP requests and handling responses.

You can find the source code and detailed documentation for each SDK on our GitHub repository.

Best Practices

Follow these best practices to ensure smooth and efficient API integrations:

  • Handle Rate Limits: Be mindful of our API rate limits to avoid throttling. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff.
  • Secure Your API Keys: Never expose your API keys in client-side code or public repositories. Store them securely.
  • Use Webhooks for Real-time Updates: For immediate notifications about changes, subscribe to our webhooks instead of constantly polling the API.
  • Validate Inputs: Always validate data before sending it to the API to prevent errors.
  • Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to gracefully manage API errors and inform users.
