Built for Real-World Integrations

  • Modern REST API with predictable, resource‑oriented URLs
  • JSON responses, standard HTTP verbs and status codes
  • OAuth/Token‑based authentication and granular permissions
  • Batch export for high‑volume programs
  • Webhooks for event‑driven updates in real time

API highlights

Easy to navigate

Endpoints are organized around everyday objects – users, forms, applications, answers, payments – so it’s simple to find what you need.

Clear, Consistent data

The API replies with clean, predictable JSON, making it straightforward to use in any modern tool or script.

Built for Big Lists

Pull results a page at a time (you choose the page size) so your imports and reports stay speedy even at scale.

Only The Details You Want

Ask for extra context (like application answers or tags) to be included with your results in one go – perfect for building richer views.

Security First

Uses industry-standard access tokens and requires HTTPS for every call—keeping your programs and applicants protected.

Helpful Error Messages

If something goes wrong, you’ll get human-readable status messages so you can fix issues quickly.

Getting Started

Step 1

In your Submit.com admin dashboard, note your client credentials.

Step 3

Use that token to fetch the objects you need users, forms, applications, answers, tags, or payments and plug them into your workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the API only for developers?

Not at all. While developers can go deep, non-technical teams can pair the API with low-code tools (like Zapier, Make, Power Automate, or Google Apps Script) to automate everyday tasks.

Will it slow down our programs?

No. Requests are designed to be efficient and paginated, so even large data pulls stay smooth.

What if our needs change later?

The API is flexible, add more fields, expand related details, or adjust page sizes without rethinking your whole integration.

How do we keep it secure?

Use access tokens, restrict who can generate them, and make calls only over HTTPS. Rotate tokens regularly as part of your security hygiene.
