Developer API and integrations

The Developer API lets you integrate Pedestal with your own tools. From Settings you manage merchant API keys and explore the REST documentation for inventory and purchase-order endpoints. Treat API keys like passwords — they act on your account, so share them only with systems you control and rotate them if one is exposed.

Before you start

You're an owner or admin who can manage API access.
Know which system will call the API and what it needs to read or write.

Steps

Open Settings → Developer API — Manage keys and open the REST docs from here.
Create an API key — Generate a key for the integration; store it securely on your side.
Review the endpoints — Explore the inventory and purchase-order REST documentation to plan your calls.
Rotate when needed — Replace a key if it's exposed or a system is decommissioned.

Common mistakes

Embedding an API key in a public place — treat it as a secret.
Using one key everywhere, so you can't revoke access for a single integration.

Troubleshooting

API calls are rejected.

Confirm the key is active and the request matches the documented endpoint and scope.

A key was exposed.

Rotate it immediately and update the integration with the new key.

When to contact support

You need an endpoint that isn't in the documentation.
