Use the power of our REST API to bring your back end data to DataPocket

Updated over 4 months ago

·Introduction

Welcome to DataPocket API, the first collaborative backend data tool. DataPocket allows designers and product managers to use and share live data in real-time in one place - helping them design up to 80 times faster.

DataPocket's mission is to make design easier for everyone, anywhere.

DataPocket connects the major eCommerce platforms. However, If you are managing data sources from ERPs or CMS with a module not supported by DataPocket, our API will be your solution. Enabling you to connect and synchronize any sort of data source to DataPocket.

·What can I do with the DataPocket API?

The DataPocket API supports Add, Update and Delete a data source to interact with Adobe Suite, Adobe Express, Figma, and Canva. You will then be able to use your data (images and texts) in your designs on any of these platforms, at any time, always synchronized.

·How does it work?

The DataPocket API is based on the REST structure. We support authentication via access tokens.
The DataPocket API allows you to combine data and images from different external data sources through the endpoint.

1. Getting started

If you’re not already using DataPocket,

1.1 Open DataPocket

1.2. Create an account

the first step is to sign up and create an account following the button below.

1.3 Authenticate using the API

Once you have a DataPocket account, the next step is to authenticate using the API. This can be done using access tokens.

2. Register an Application

A personal access token gives the holder access to an account through the API as if they were the user who generated the token.

2.1 Login or sign up to your DataPocket account.

2.2 Click 'Connect'

2.3 Press API “your own data”.

Name your connector and give it a description.

A token and endpoint with the new data source will be generated.

To test it copy the endpoint and token then go to Postman (or any other API test platform)

Using the official Workspace in Postman

You can now make use of a powerful API tool to help you streamline your workflow when building with our API services. Easily explore, test and contribute to our collections. Fork our workspace and get started following these steps:

Explore the Workspace

By hitting the below button you will be redirected to our Workspace. You can explore it or simply fork it directly into your team space for it to be visible by you and other members of your organisation.

You can browse the available endpoints in the left panel and the complementary documentation in the middle panel.

Configure your environment

You simply need to retrieve your credentials created before at datapocket. Once you have your token and datasource you just need to add it to your working environment like so:

Running the first example

Once you have properly configured your environment all the endpoints in the Workspace will inherit this value and should now be able to interact with our services without doing any further configuration. One basic example to test the connection is properly set "Add or update an existing entry" in DataPocket endpoint.

Check de item by using a GET

This endpoint allows you to retrieve a specific :entryid information.
