Integration Quick Start

Get started with Financbase integrations in minutes

Step 1: Get Your API Key

First, you'll need an API key to authenticate your requests. You can create one from your dashboard settings.

  1. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  2. Click "Create New API Key"
  3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Production API")
  4. Copy the key immediately - it won't be shown again!

Step 2: Make Your First API Call

Test your API key with a simple request to verify your connection.

curl https://api.financbase.com/v1/accounts \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Expected Response:

{"data": [...], "status": "success"}

Step 3: Set Up Webhooks (Optional)

Webhooks allow Financbase to notify your application in real-time when events occur. This is essential for building reactive integrations.

  1. Create a webhook endpoint in your application
  2. Configure the webhook URL in Financbase dashboard
  3. Subscribe to the events you want to receive
  4. Verify webhook signatures for security
