Quick Start

Get your API keys

Your API requests are authenticated using API keys. Any request that doesn't include an API key will return an error.

You can generate an API key from your Dashboard at any time.

Install the library

The best way to interact with our API is to use one of our official libraries:

# Install via NPM
npm install --save my-api

Good to know: Using tabs to separate out different languages is a great way to present technical examples or code documentation without cramming your docs with extra sections or pages per language.

Make your first request

To make your first request, send an authenticated request to the pets endpoint. This will create a pet, which is nice.

Create pet.

POST https://api.myapi.com/v1/pet

Creates a new pet.

Good to know: You can use the API Method block to fully document an API method. You can also sync your API blocks with an OpenAPI file or URL to auto-populate them.

Take a look at how you might call this method using our official libraries, or via curl:

curl https://api.myapi.com/v1/pet  
    -u YOUR_API_KEY:  
    -d name='Wilson'  
    -d species='dog'  
    -d owner_id='sha7891bikojbkreuy'
