What Is Approval Studio REST API?

API stands for Application Programming Interface – a computing medium that puts two different applications on the same page and allows them to interact and communicate.

FAQs

API access is available on Pro, Pro XL, and Enterprise plans. Starter plan users can request API access by contacting support.

All formats that Approval Studio supports. File size limits match your plan’s storage limits.

The REST API is the stable, production-ready API with the widest feature coverage. The GraphQL API allows more flexible queries (fetch exactly the fields you need in one request) and is ideal for complex integrations, dashboards, and read-heavy use cases. See the GraphQL API page for details.

There is no sandbox environment; all API calls affect live data. We recommend using read-only requests to safely test the API: all GET requests are safe.
