Frequently Asked Questions
What is an API?
API stands for “Application Programming Interface,” but that doesn’t tell us much about what an API does. In simple terms, an API allows various software applications to communicate with each other, following a set of rules and specifications. For example, the rideshare app Uber leverages Google Maps’ API to access mapping data and share that data with its users.
How do I get started?
Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to get setup with the SkySlope APIs. Once an order form and terms of use has been signed, your Customer Success Manager will provide you with your testing account as well as your Client Id and Secret.
Where do I get the Client Id and Secret?
Your Customer Success Manager will assist with providing the Client Id and Secret in a password-protected zip file. The password to access the zip file will be shared separately with your primary technical contact.
Where do I get the Access Key and Secret for an individual user?
The Access Key and Secret must be generated by each user from within their own SkySlope account. Detailed instructions can be found in section 1.3.2 of our API Documentation.
How do the Access Key and Secret work for each user?
The Access Key and Secret are generated at the user level and provide the same level of access that the user would have in their SkySlope Account. For example, if you are using the Access Key and Secret of an Agent account, then you would only be able to pull data for Listings and Sales that belong to that Agent. If you need access to all the files within a brokerage, you would want to use the Access Key and Secret of a Broker or Admin who has access to all files.
How can I prepare to set up an API with SkySlope?
To ensure a smooth integration, we recommend designating a technical contact—someone with development experience or API knowledge—to oversee the setup process. This person can facilitate setup, ensure your systems are securely connected, and identify and troubleshoot problems efficiently. Additionally, to prepare for setup, it’s beneficial to know which data you want to sync (transactions, contacts, documents, etc.).
If you have any additional questions about setting up an API with SkySlope, please reach out to our Support team and they will point you in the right direction. Happy SkySloping!
