Quickstart

This guide takes you from zero to your first successful API request.

1. Generate an API key

Generate an API key in your admin area under Settings > Advanced settings > Developer options.

Treat the key like a password: it grants full access to your account’s data.

2. Send your first request

For example, retrieve the list of your courses. Replace <API key> with your API key:

curl "https://api.schulungstool.de/v1/courses/" \
  -H "Authorization: Token <API key>"

The response is a paginated list of courses:

{
  "count": 3,
  "next": null,
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "06285ae7-38a0-484a-b779-b11490c706c0",
      "name": "General course 2026",
      "...": "..."
    }
  ]
}
