An API key (available in your dashboard)
Understanding of REST API principles
A tool to make HTTP requests (like cURL, Postman, or your programming language of choice)

API Features

Paginated list endpoints (default 25 results per page)

Pagination

All endpoints that return lists of results support pagination via query parameters:

limit — Number of results to return per request (default: 25, max: 100)
offset — Number of results to skip (default: 0)

Paginated responses include count (results in this page), total (total available), offset, and limit fields. To iterate through all results, increment the offset by the limit value:

# First page
GET /api/v2/cards/23551?limit=25&offset=0

# Second page
GET /api/v2/cards/23551?limit=25&offset=25

# Third page
GET /api/v2/cards/23551?limit=25&offset=50
