Administrators for an organization's Sift instance have access to manage applications with access to their data. To read more about creating and managing applications and their associated permissions, see our help documentation. If you are a non-administrator with access to your organization's Sift directory and have a valid use case for the API, please reach out to one of your administrators to request access!

After an administrator grants access to an application, a separate API Token will be created for accessing media and data (if permission is given). The media token will be appended as a query parameter on media URLs returned in data responses for convenience. The data token may not be sent as a query parameter. An API token should be provided as a Bearer token in the Authorization header

Authorization: Bearer {token}

If you would like to try using the API with sample data before provisioning an application in your instance, you may use the tokens provided below. Additionally, if you would like to log into our demo directory to compare your API responses against the familiar Sift interface, you may use username "apidemo@justsift.com" and password "DemoPass123". The experience will be read-only.

The base path is

Response properties and a couple of specific request properties are dynamic based on the organization. Most notably, person object responses contain a base set of standardized properties, but also contain additional properties for customized fields in Sift. You can retrieve more information related to these fields by retrieving the fields list. Instances of this dynamic behavior will also be documented in each individual case.
