Getting started

Try, subscribe to, and make your first API call

Start with the merchant’s product link, choose a plan, complete approval or payment, and send a real request.

On this page

Before you start

  • The merchant’s API product link and a buyer account with a verified email.

Open the product and check endpoints and plans

  1. Open the merchant’s product link and read the endpoint documentation, parameters, and authentication requirements. Check that your chosen plan includes the endpoint you need.
  2. To try it for free, choose “Free trial” when available. This entry appears only when the merchant offers an eligible free BASIC plan.
  3. Sign in to your buyer account and verify your email. Visitors can read documentation and inspect the console, but must sign in to send requests.
The product endpoint list shows GET /health included in the free trial
Demo data: check that GET /health is included, then choose Free trial to open the console. View full-size image (opens in a new tab)

Apply first if the plan requires approval

  1. Under “Require merchant approval”, fill in “Your answer” and choose “Submit application”.
  2. Wait for the merchant, then return to the product and choose “Refresh status”. Once approved, continue subscribing or using the free trial.
  3. Private plans also require a valid invitation. Approval does not replace invitation eligibility.

Send your first request on the product page

  1. In the console, choose an endpoint your plan allows. Fill in its path parameters, query, additional authentication, and body from the documentation. Choose an operation you are prepared to run for real.
  2. Choose “Send request”. If you have no subscription yet, the first send activates the available free BASIC plan. Plans requiring approval must be approved first.
  3. Immediately copy and save the API key displayed on this page, then inspect the response status and body. If you already have a subscription, paste your saved key into the product-page console.
The product console calls GET /health and returns HTTP 200 with status ok
Demo data: after choosing Send request, check the HTTP status and response body. The key shown is an invalid demo value. View full-size image (opens in a new tab)

Choose a paid plan and confirm access

  1. Choose a plan on the product page. Review the monthly fee, metering objects, included units, overage prices, and permitted endpoints before subscribing.
  2. In Stripe Checkout, review the payment method, tax, and renewal conditions. A usage-only plan may have no initial charge but still requires a payment method.
  3. After payment or activation is confirmed, open “Purchased products” and select the API. Confirm the subscription is active before calling. If it is pending, check the payment status first.
Open purchases

Call from your workspace or your own application

  1. Open the API in “Purchased products”. Under “Try It”, choose an endpoint and select “Send request”. The buyer workspace uses your signed-in account; you do not need to enter or rotate a key.
  2. For your own application, copy the “Base URL” and actual endpoint path from the product detail, and use your saved key. The skeleton below is a template: replace every angle-bracket placeholder with values from the product documentation.
  3. Add query parameters, a request body, Content-Type, and additional authentication as required by that endpoint. Confirm the response matches your intended result.
External request skeleton: replace every placeholder before running
curl --request "<HTTP_METHOD>" \
  "<API_BASE_URL><ENDPOINT_PATH>" \
  --header "X-Invokora-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>"

Check your result

  • Your purchases show an active subscription and a permitted endpoint returns the expected response.
