Gleam API (Beta)

The Gleam API is available on the Premium plan. This feature is currently in beta and may change (though we will take care not to introduce breaking changes without warning). If you would like to suggest changes or additional endpoints, please don't hesitate to contact us.

It is accessed via Site Settings sidebar option -> API (BETA) tab.

This tab contains:

The ability to generate API tokens.
An API Explorer for testing interactions with the API.
Automatically generated code Snippets (currently in Ruby and Node.js).

Authentication is handled via the Authorization header. The value uses the word "Token" followed by a space then the token. E.g. Token h0GKz4dQuItT6DUH
