Our REST API is a core building block of the Seably Platform. You can use it to retrieve and update information from your Seably workspace, or to integrate Seably into your own product. It's completely up to you and your custom use case.
To interact with the API, all integrating systems need to use an API-key. Each API-key is connected to a specific organization within Seably, and all operations made by the integrating system will automatically be related to this organization. I.e. when adding a new employee, it will automatically be connected to the organization which owns the API-key.
Setting up an API Key
The process of creating an API key is straight forward.
Make sure you have administrative access to your organization on Seably.
Navigate to the "Manage" interface.
Select "Settings" and then select "Integrations".
On this settings page you have the option of adding a new API key. All you need to do is click "Add" and give the key a name.
Available Endpoints
The API exposes a number of different resources that are central to the functionality of Seably. Each resource is described in more detail further down.
Organization - The organization connected to the current API-key. Usually a shipping company or a training provider.
Employees - An employee is a user that is connected to an organization.
Certificates - A certificate is a proof that a user has completed a specific course.
Positions - A position is a specific job title within an organization, such as Able Seaman
Vessels - A vessel represents a vessel owned or operated by a organization
From a technological standpoint the API tries to be RESTful and lends concepts from the JSON API spec in some places, specifically regarding relationships. The API exclusively produces and consumes JSON-data.
