API Guides

To begin importing your data to the BuildingMinds platform via the API, you must first authenticate using a valid access token. Each user has the ability to generate an API token which enables API access and use of the available endpoints in this API reference.

How to Use

The Authentication endpoint requires the Client ID and URI Scope (which can be located on the API Keys page), in addition to the Client Secret (displayed only at the time of API key creation). These inputs are used to generate a bearer token. The produced bearer token is unique to the Client ID and secret used and has a lifespan of 1 hour.

You can use the bearer token to access any endpoint in the BuildingMinds API. Within its 1-hour validity, this bearer token can be used for an unlimited number of calls. It also supports concurrent API calls to multiple BuildingMinds API endpoints.
