Is there an API for my Seamless data?

Reading your product library and sales data from your own systems with the Seamless API, and where to find the developer documentation.

P
Written by Paul Walton

Yes. The Seamless API lets your own systems, or a developer working for you, read your product library and sales data. It is currently read-only, so nothing sent to it can change your data.
​

The full developer documentation is at developer.seamlesspos.com.
​

What you can read

  • Your product library: categories, products, prices and modifier groups

  • Orders, with their items, discounts and payments

  • Refunds

  • Daily sales totals that match the reports in your back office

Creating an API key

Every request needs an API key. You create one in the back office.

  1. Go to Settings, then System Settings, and find API keys.

  2. Choose Create API key.

  3. Give the key a name, pick the sites it covers and tick what it can read.

  4. Copy the key and pass it to your developer securely. It is shown once and cannot be retrieved later.

Treat a key like a password. If you think one has been shared by mistake, revoke it on the same screen and create a new one.
