Generate a Nestr API key

The Nestr api allows manipulation of nests from outside the Nestr application. The api can be used to create an integration with other applications, or to easily add nests from anywhere.

To get started, go to your workspace settings where you will find a tab called Integrations

There you will find the Workspace API access integration. Click configure and create a new API key.

You can optionally name the API key and give a description. If you have multiple integrations, it pays to setup a key for each one and name them accordingly. Once you have named your API key, click Create API key. This will generate and store the key for you. We will only show you the key once, so make sure you copy it and store it securely in a password manager.

Use your Nestr API key

The Nestr API key is a Bearer token. You can find the full API documentation and examples on our API documentation page.
