🔗 Introduction to Flock REST API

The Flock REST API provides developers with powerful and flexible endpoints to manage and interact with Flock resources directly from your backend systems. This API is designed to complement Flock’s SDKs by enabling server-side access and integrations.

​
Why Use the Flock REST API?

  • Flexible Integration: The REST API allows you to integrate Flock’s capabilities directly into your backend processes, offering a greater level of control over how you manage referral data and interactions.

  • Automation and Customization: Automate workflows, trigger events, or process data in real-time by interacting directly with Flock resources, providing customized solutions tailored to your business needs.

  • Enhanced Control: Access detailed insights and manage your referral campaigns programmatically, creating a cohesive and seamless integration between your server-side logic and Flock’s features.

​
Getting Started

To get started with the Flock REST API, you’ll need to:

  1. Obtain API Credentials: Ensure you have valid API keys provided by Flock. You can find this by logging into your Flock account and navigating to the Secrets page.

Make sure you only use the SERVICE key when making requests to the API. More importantly, never share it publicly!

  1. Understand the Basics: Familiarize yourself with the REST architecture and HTTP methods used by the API.

Example Use Cases

  • Backend Triggered Rewards: Enhance the referral program by issuing rewards from your backend based on custom conditions.
