Our REST API allows you to interact with Datafold programmatically. To use it, you’ll need an API key. Follow the instructions below to get started.

​
Create an API Key

Open the Datafold app, visit Settings > Account, and select Create API Key.

Store your API key somewhere safe. If you lose it, you’ll need to generate a new one.

​
Use your API Key

When making requests to the Datafold API, you’ll need to include the API key as a header in your HTTP request for authentication. The header should be named Authorization, and the value should be in the format:

Authorization: Key {API_KEY}

For example, if you’re using cURL:

curl https://api.datafold.com/api/v1/... -H "Authorization: Key {API_KEY}"

​
Datafold SDK

Rather than hit our REST API endpoints directly, we offer a convenient Python SDK for common development and deployment testing workflows. You can find more information about our SDK here.
