Lattice's Public API

If you are a developer and are interested in learning more about the API, you can check out the developer documentation here.  This will give you or your team an introduction to the API's technical specifications, including authentication, pagination, expanding objects, and rate limits.  It will also provide real-time documentation about what endpoints and fields will be available from the above sections.  If you are a Lattice admin and are curious about how to begin setting up the API, please follow the documentation below to start enabling this feature.

All customers can be given access to the API, but it will not be turned on automatically in your account. The first step is to reach out to ask us for it to be turned on.  You can do so by reaching out to your customer success manager.

Once you have had Lattice enable the feature in your account, you will have a new section under Settings titled "API Keys." Make sure the person creating the keys is a super admin in your Lattice account.  If someone with limited privileges creates the key, it will limit what information will be retrieved.  To create one, simply click on the "Create new key" button on the screen's top right-hand side.

Once you create your API key, it will be shown to you as a long stream of alphanumeric characters. Be sure to keep it safe, and remember that this is the only time that this API key will be shown to you.  After creating the key, you will be shown a log of the key with only the last few characters of the string shown, the user that created the key (identified by their email) and when the key was created.

Once you have created an API key, you will want to share it with whoever will be responsible for your build.  You will need to do so safely and securely and make sure that the key is not hosted in any place that individuals other than Lattice admins and whoever is responsible for the build will have access.

If your key's security has been compromised, you can revoke access to the key in the "API Keys" section of the admin dashboard.  If you have created multiple, you will want to identify which key you need to revoke using the characteristics provided (the ending of the character string, the email and/or the date) and click the "Revoke" button.

Once revoked, the button will change to plain text, and the key will no longer be able to retrieve information from Lattice.

Once you have a key generated, your developer(s) will be able to retrieve data from Lattice and test the results using the "Try It" button in the API developer page.
