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.

Prefer a less technical, coding-free version? Try out our Zapier integration!

Access your personal access token

To dive into the Public API, you'll need a personal access token. Simply go to your dashboard and click on the Settings cog icon at the top of the page > click on Personal account (at the top) > then click Developer (on the left) > next to 'API key,' click Generate > Copy.

It is important that you use the API key from the Developer page in your Settings, not the 'Zapier API key' from the Integrations page.

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.
