Public API

Public API

Padlet now has a public API! Our API allows you to send posts to boards, create comments and reactions and retrieve post data.

You must have a Padlet subscription to use Padlet's public API.

What is API?

API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules that allow different software applications to communicate with each other.

If you want to use our public API to lessen your workflow, you can find all documentation here. This documentation contains the relevant instructions and information on how to get started.

Developer fun

We’ve already built an app that can convert your board into Flashcards! Check it out here.

Access your personal access token

To dive into the 'Learning with Linh' flashcards, you'll need a personal access token. Simply go to your dashboard and click on your account name/avatar in the top-right corner > Settings > click on Developer in the left-side panel > Generate > Copy.

Join us on Discord

We've set up a Discord server to give developers a space to ask questions and share ideas. Join us by clicking Connect on Padlet Discord in the 'Developer' section of your Settings.

You can also connect by clicking the three-dot ellipsis button (...) on the side of your padlet to open the Additional Options panel >> click Developer >> under 'Resources,' click Connect on Padlet Discord.
