Get started with the Core API
We offer an API for external systems to pull and push data from Core. To give a system API access, you will need to create a user for that system. Ultimately the API user needs to have the permission to Use Core API
Do not lock yourself out: Any user with the permission to Use Core API will not be allowed to log in using a normal interface.
Accessing the Endpoints
All of the API calls follow a similar scheme to URI below
https://ASSOCIATION_SLUG.recliquecore.com/api/v1/ <!-- Requires Basic Authentication -->
Association Slug
The slug is the unique identifier of the association inside the Core system. Typically, it's a word that identifies the association and it's the subdomain of recliquecore.com used to access the system. The easiest way to find the slug s to go to your profile by clicking on Profile on the top right corner of the Core interface.
The slug will be the letters before the numbers in the User ID. For example metropolis on the example below.
Endpoint Authentication
Core API V1 uses https Basic Authentication for accessing the endpoints.
Oauth Authentication for Members
Oauth is currently available to authenticate member accounts through Core. This would allow members to use their Core credentials as a Single Sign On (SSO) for other apps. Please contact us if this is something you are interested in.
Available Endpoints
Core API Enpoint documentation has moved to https://apidocs.recliquecore.com.
