How do I generate an API token?

In the desktop web app, go to Settings > Integrations and generate a new API token. Use it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of API requests.

The base URL is https://rest.boxhero-app.com.

Are there API rate limits?

Yes. To keep the service stable, each endpoint is limited to 5 queries per second. If you exceed this, you'll receive an error response with rate limit headers.

See here for full endpoint documentation.
