Important Note <\/b><\/p> This version of the API was deprecated. If you still need to automate your data collection processes, and retrieve collected data or make various operations related to your 123FormBuilder account through API calls, you can use our new and improved API v2. Please visit our developer documentation <\/a> for more details.<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The API key is a secret token that is used to identify the origin of a request. Each 123FormBuilder account has an API key. You can find it by selecting your username and then clicking on API Keys<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"API<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In case it’s not already displayed, you’ll need to generate it by pressing the Create now<\/b> button. After you create it, you can copy it and also see how many API calls per day you can make.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Copy<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You need this API Key in three main situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. When you want to publish your forms on certain platforms, such as Joomla<\/a>, or Sitefinity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. When you want to integrate your forms with certain 3rd<\/sup> party apps (e.g. Zapier<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your form’s Applications<\/a> section, you can find the most used zaps between us and other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Applications<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Click on 123FormBuilder<\/b> to open all the available zaps that you can create with us.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"More<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

3. When you want to use our API in your own development endeavors. We invite you to browse our knowledge base for developers <\/a>for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For points 2 and 3, the number of API calls<\/a> that you can use in a day is very important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
