The Buildlink API is based on REST. The API provides a programmatic interface to read and write Buildlink data. API contains all the technical details required by programmers to integrate Buildlink to a custom application.
Authentication
You authenticate to the Buildlink API by providing your API token in the header of the request. You can manage your API token from your account profile. Your API token carries many privileges, so be sure to keep them secret.
API tokens should be treated as secret data and not exposed to users. To ensure the security of access token or API token, we strongly suggest that you make requests to the Buildlink API server-side whenever possible.
All API requests must be made over secure HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP are prohibited and will fail. Authentication is required for all requests.
Buildlink developers can do testing using general tools like cURL.
