The Usertour REST API is now live
Hey! 👋
Remember when we first started Usertour? We were all about making user onboarding simple and beautiful. But as more of you started using our platform, we kept hearing the same request: "We need more control over our data flow."
Well, today's the day! We're launching our REST API, and I'm pretty excited about it. This isn't just another API - it's the result of countless conversations with our users and months of development work.
What's the Big Deal?
Let me break it down for you. While our JavaScript SDK is great for frontend tracking, there are some things it just can't do. Like when your backend job updates a user's status, or when you need to keep sensitive data away from the frontend. That's where our new API comes in.
What Can You Actually Do With It?
Here's the fun part. You can:
- Create and update user profiles (with all the custom attributes you want)
- Get user data and list users
- Track events
- Manage companies and their members
- Handle content versions and user interactions
- Keep your event and attribute definitions in sync
The Technical Stuff
For the developers out there, here's what you need to know:
- It's RESTful (because who doesn't love a good REST API?)
- You'll need an API key (get it from Settings -> API)
- We've made it as intuitive as possible
Getting Started
Ready to dive in? Here's what you need to do:
- Head to your Usertour dashboard
- Go to Settings -> API
- Grab your API key
- Start building!
I've been using it myself for the past few weeks, and I have to say - it's pretty slick. Whether you're a backend ninja or just getting started with APIs, you'll find it easy to work with.
