Introduction
Build on Specter: read and write your boards, records, messages and money from your own code.
Loading documentation…
Everything you do in the Specter app — boards and records, deals and leads, messages, documents, money — has an API behind it. These docs cover how to reach it from your own code.
New here?
The Quickstart gets a row onto a board in under five minutes.
Two ways in
| Board keys | Forms | |
|---|---|---|
| Reaches | One board or page | One published form |
| Credential | sbk_…, made on the board | None — the form's link |
| Good for | Servers, lead vendors, sync scripts | People filling in a page |
| Runs | On your server only | Anywhere, including a browser |
The API reference documents every route the Specter app itself uses. Those routes answer a signed-in session; a board key opens only the board routes.
What's here
- Quickstart — a key, a read, a write.
- Authentication, Errors and Rate limits — the rules every route shares.
- Boards — add rows to a board and read it back, with a board key.
- Forms — collect records from people, with no key.
- API reference — every route, grouped by area, generated from the service's own catalog.
