Help CenterAtera’s API offers multiple methods of integrating and extending Atera’s functionality. Use our API to easily integrate with your accounting system, enhance your team’s productivity, and create seamless integrations.
Your account is protected by a unique API access key (REST API). You must log in with this key to use Atera's API.
Note: As of June 1st, we’ll only support API requests over HTTPS. If you haven’t done so already, please change any HTTP API implementation you may have to HTTPS for more secure communications. If you already use HTTPS, then you don’t have to do anything!
This article shows you how to reveal your Atera API key and how to log in with your Atera API key
To help you further, we'll show you examples for two GET requests as well as a PUT request:
Click here to access Atera's API Documentation Page
To reveal your API key:
1. From Admin, on the side panel, click API. 
The API page appears.
3. Click the eye icon 
to reveal your API key.
Note: You'll need to provide this key with every request you make to Atera API. Please keep this key secret and safe as it exposes your contacts and their devices. If you need to reset your key for any reason, click Reset my API key (resetting the API key will cause any request made with the old key to fail).

The API page appears.
2. Click View documentation. The Atera API documentation page will open in a new tab.
3. Click Log in, on the upper, right-hand side of the page. The Available authorizations window appears.
