Introduction

The Duda API allows you to integrate Duda into your website, workflow, or product. It's one of the main starting points for any integration. The API is REST-based with JSON responses.

Using Duda's Developer Documentation

Duda’s developer documentation is split into four distinct types of articles: How-to, Concepts, Tutorials, and Reference. You can read about each below:

Concepts
Concept articles give an in-depth exploratory look into a topic or feature, what it does, what problems it can solve, and what the benefits are. The goal is to give you enough background information and context so that you can successfully dive into tutorials or how-to’s and leverage that capability to its fullest extent.

Tutorials
Tutorial articles teach you how to use specific features within Duda by explaining how the feature works, how it’s commonly used, and what you need to know to start building with that feature. The goal is to help you get started and gain confidence so you can begin using features independently.

How To
How-to articles provide step-by-step instructions for how to solve specific problems using the Duda API. Frequently, the instructions might involve combining several different APIs to form a complete workflow or solution you need to solve. The goal of how-to articles is to help you understand the necessary steps to implement a specific feature or workflow.

Reference
Reference articles give you the exact technical details you need to know to implement an API or feature. The articles contain the exact method, path or function that you will call to leverage a specific capability.

API Credentials

You can find API Credentials for your account from within the Duda dashboard. They can be found under the Business Tools > API Access section.

After getting to API Access, you can find & save your username and password. If it's your first time using the API, you can reset the password. Note that resetting the password might break if your API keys are in use somewhere else, so, use this with caution!

Response Codes

All APIs will respond with one of the following response codes:

Error JSON

The applicative validations and errors are returned with 400 (Bad Request) HTTP response code accompanied with the following error structure:

{
  "error_code":"ResourceNotExist",
  "message":"Template with ID '123456' doesn't exist"
}
