Quickstart guide
Get started with the SELECT API
Welcome
All API endpoints are accessed via the base URL https://api.select.dev/
.
Authentication
All API endpoints are authenticated using Bearer tokens. You’ll need to create an API key in the SELECT dashboard.
In the navbar, head to Settings -> API Keys.
Then, once you have an API key, you can use it to fill in the Authorization
header with a Bearer token for your requests.
Responses
We use standard HTTP response codes to indicate the status or failure of API requests.
If there is an error, the API response body will be JSON, and contain more detailed information on the nature of the error.
Here’s an example of a response when you don’t include a required json body field. We use the Pydantic library to validate input and generate the error response.
Let’s head over to the API reference next to see how to use the API.
