Authentication​

There are two ways to authenticate with the Sipstory API:

API Key​

Get your API key from Settings > Developers > Public API. Include it in the Authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: your-api-key" https://api.sipstory.tech/public/v1/integrations

OAuth2 Token​

If you're building an app for other Sipstory users, use OAuth2 Authentication to get tokens that act on behalf of users. OAuth tokens start with pos_ and are used the same way:

curl -H "Authorization: pos_your-oauth-token" https://api.sipstory.tech/public/v1/integrations

Base URL​

EnvironmentBase URL
Sipstory Webhttps://api.sipstory.tech/public/v1

Rate Limits​

info

30 requests per hour limit applies to all endpoints.

This doesn't mean you can only post 30 times per hour—each API call counts as one request. Schedule multiple posts in a single request to maximize throughput.

Terminology​

note

The Sipstory UI uses the term channel, while the API uses integration. They refer to the same thing — a connected social media account.

Generate Output​

The easiest way to generate your post payloads is by using this wizard. It's the same wizard to schedule posts in the Sipstory app, however instead of scheduling posts, it generates the JSON payload for you to use in your API requests.
