The API tab refers to anything related to the Showpad API. As a developer or if you're part of the IT team, you can use these tools to access Showpad data and functionality, such as creating, editing, and deleting files and users. It shows
- API Explorer to try out Showpad API calls.
- Manage OAuth Clients to handle OAuth Access tokens.
- API Tokens to interact with other apps.
API Explorer
The information in the API Explorer shows you all the possible endpoints of the Showpad API, including the parameters.
Note: For more information on the Showpad API, please consult our Developer Portal.
Manage OAuth Clients
OAuth is a standard that apps can use to provide client applications secure access. It works over HTTPS and authorizes devices, APIs, servers, and applications with access tokens rather than credentials.
To add a new client, click the + icon.
Fill in the form and include:
- Name: We recommend a clear name for the OAuth client, so it's easy to find.
- Redirect URL: The callback URL.
- Description: Provide a summary of the integration.
- Website: This is for context purposes only. It doesn't affect the functioning of the OAuth client.
- Your preferred refresh and lifetime options.
Client-side:
- Showpad URL: Your Showpad domain (https://OrganizationName.showpad.biz)
- Client ID: Generated after completing the form in Showpad.
- Client Secret: Generated after completing the form in Showpad.
Note: For more technical information, please refer to this article on our Developer Portal.
