Use the Bonsai API when you want to move data in or out of Bonsai automatically. Common cases: pushing leads from a form into your CRM, syncing tasks with another tool, pulling invoice or time data into a report.
Step 1 — Create your key
Settings > Integrations & Data > Bonsai API > 'New access token'.
Name it after whatever you're building.
Copy the key right away, it's shown once.
Step 2 — Make a call
Send the key as a bearer token.
The docs have a copy-paste example for the first request.
Step 3 — Build
The API covers contacts, companies, deals, projects, tasks, subtasks, comments, time entries and invoices.
A few limits
Your key can only do what your Bonsai role allows.
Keys expire and can be revoked from the Integrations & Data page.
Client portal members can't use the API.
Read the docs
docs.hellobonsai.com has authentication, the full endpoint reference and rate limits.
