Accessing your account API key
API stands for application programming interface. It can be helpful to think of the API as a way for different apps to talk to one another. Your API key allows other apps to access your account without you giving out your password. YouCanBookMe offers a robust API that can be used to fully integrate into your systems. Our API can be used to manage all the details of your account and booking pages, as well as direct manipulation of bookings that have been made through the system. You can find our API documentation here.
This feature is available on our Team plan.
Retrieving your account API key
Account Owners for trial and paid accounts can retrieve their API key in their settings. Navigate to Account Password & Security. In the section Authentication and API, you can view/copy your account ID. Click Generate your API key or click here
Once the key has been generated, click the eye to view the key, the trash bin to delete it, or the page icon to copy the key.
Administrators and Contributors cannot currently generate their own API keys but should request this from the Account Owner.
Where can I find my Account ID?
Your account ID is found above the API key section.
What API Authentication should I use?
You will use HTTP Basic Authentication to connect via the API. The username is your account email address or account ID, and the password is your API key.
API Support
The YouCanBookMe Support Team can help with basic API questions but isn't trained in in-depth API troubleshooting. You may need to hire a developer to help you configure something using the API. If you're a developer who wants to build your own integration with YCBM, check out our API documentation. Also, you can check out the YCBM Forum for more information on the API.
For further questions, contact our team at support@youcanbook.me.
