FLOW API 0.0.4

Modified on Wed, 24 Nov 2021 at 10:56 AM

The FLOW API uses REST and returns JSON objects that can be parsed for the requested information unless otherwise noted.

This set of API endpoints will allow you to:

  • Get information on all events
  • Get information on registrants for specified events
  • Get CSV reports on a specified past event
  • Create a new barebones event

How to Use


All API requests will need to have an authentication header included. This comes in the form of an API secret key.


You can include the API key as part of your request header under the name api-secret, to authorize all requests. See the below section for information on finding your account's unique key.


Authentication (API Key/Secret)


Go to your Dashboard and navigate to the Account page. Click the "Show API Key" button under Account Settings to reveal your account's API key. It may take a brief moment to generate.


Note: As these keys are used to authenticate API requests and grant many privileges, make sure to keep them private. Be careful not to push the key to any public Git repositories or include them in any client code or documentation. Anyone with this API secret key will be able to use the APIs to manage its associated account.
