How to Access Your Account API Credentials

One of the powerful capabilities of eComverter is its API integration options.

The API allows you to connect eComverter with other software platforms, build custom apps and tools on top of the core functionality, automate workflows, and more.

This article will explain:

• What the eComverter API is,

• Why you may want to use it,

• and how to securely access your account's API credentials from within the dashboard.

API stands for "Application Programming Interface".

In simple terms, it is a way for different software programs to communicate and share data with each other in a structured way.

Think of an API like a middle-person or translator between two systems that don't naturally speak the same language.

The API facilitates the interaction by relaying requests and responses back-and-forth in a format each side understands.

Integrate with Third-Party Tools

The API allows you to connect eComverter to external marketing tools, ecommerce platforms, CRMs, email providers, data tracking systems, and more.

This two-way integration passes data between eComverter and the other tool.

For example, you could use the API to send new lead data captured in eComverter directly to your CRM or email marketing tool.

Or pull in product information and catalogs to dynamically populate eComverter campaigns.

Build Custom Apps and Extensions

Developers can use eComverter's API to build new custom apps and extensions on top of the core eComverter functionality.

This allows creating tailored tools and workflows to meet your business' unique needs.

The eComverter API makes it easy to automate processes by sending real-time notifications and data to other cloud platforms via Zapier, webhooks, and similar automation services.

For example, automatically create new eComverter campaigns when events happen in other tools.

In some cases, you may need to programmatically access and manage campaign data, leads, stats, and other eComverter data via scripts or applications.

The API allows you to do this rather than being confined to the dashboard UI.

Overall, the availability of an API turns eComverter into a robust integration and automation platform in addition to its built-in conversion toolkit capabilities.

To use eComverter's API, you'll need to obtain your account's secure API credentials which identify you and grant access to make API requests. 

1. Log into your eComverter account dashboard.

2. Navigate to the YOUR PROFILE area.

3. Click the "API" tab.

4. Here you'll see your unique API Key and Secret displayed

These credentials are like passwords that you'll include with any API requests you make to eComverter from other apps or services.

This is how eComverter verifies it is actually you making the requests.

Be sure to keep your API credentials absolutely secure and never share them publicly or with untrusted parties, as they provide full control over your account.

In that same API Access section, you'll also be able to:

• • Revoke or regenerate new API credentials at any time for security.

• • View and manage any API access tokens you've created.

• • See recent API activity and requests made for monitoring

You can create and manage multiple unique API credentials as well. 

This allows you to have different credentials for various specific services/apps while still maintaining overall control and visibility.

eComverter securely logs all API access attempts so you can identify any suspicious activity. And you have full ability to revoke credentials instantly with a single click.

For development purposes, eComverter also provides a convenient API sandbox testing environment.

This functions identically to the live production API but without any risk of actually affecting real data.

The sandbox lets you safely experiment, test out integrations, and familiarize yourself with making API calls before going live. It's accessible from that same API Access dashboard area.

If you need any assistance working with eComverter's API - whether for integration, automation, or building custom apps - guided resources are available:

• • The API documentation provides a complete code reference of available API endpoints and example requests.

• • There are step-by-step tutorials for common integration and automation use cases like connecting your CRM or email tool.

• • And eComverter's dedicated support team is available to answer any other API questions.

By providing secure, straightforward access to your API credentials combined with ample self-service resources, eComverter aims to empower users to unlock the full capabilities of the platform and customize it to their exact needs.
