Get set up
1
Create an account
Sign up on Swipe — the dashboard and the API work on the same data.
2
Generate your API key
In the API Integration section of your
dashboard. See Authentication for how requests are signed.
3
Make your first call
Follow the Quickstart — create an invoice and download its PDF in two requests,
or try any endpoint in the interactive playground on its reference page.
4
Customize your invoices (optional)
Pick templates and document settings on the settings page —
PDFs generated by the API use them.
