Does Tettra have an API?

We recently released a limited public API in beta. API access and keys are only available on our paid plans. Our API allows you to create new pages and suggestions, as well as search your Tettra pages.

API Key and Team ID

To generate or view your API key visit the 'Integrations' section of your user settings page. The API key is unique to your user and team and has the same permissions as your user. Your team_id  is also available on this page.

Future Work

If you have a good use case or idea for other API capabilities, or would like to collaborate, send us a message. We also support integrations via Zapier.

Note that our API is still experimental, and we may make breaking, non-backwards-compatible changes.
