To utilize Documo's API's, first purchase the API Add-On in the billing section.
NOTE: You must have a Business Plan or higher to purchase the API Add-On.
To start using the Documo API, you must first generate an API key.
First, click the Toolbox menu, then click API Keys:
Click Create, and fill out the form. Check the box if you would like the API key emailed to you:
NOTE: The permissions associated with each user role define the actions available for that user’s API keys.
Make sure to either have the API key emailed to you or copy and save it somewhere secure. You won’t be able to view it again after it’s created:
NOTE: It is important to keep your secret API key secure as it contains your user-level access to the Documo system.
NOTE: If an API request returns 401 Wrong authorization type, the Authorization header uses the wrong scheme. Send your API key with the Api scheme, exactly as it was shown when you created it:
Authorization: Api <your API key>
Bearer <your API key> and a key sent without a scheme both return this error. Basic <your API key> also works, but don't base64-encode the key or use your HTTP client's built-in "Basic auth" option.
