Partners API

Cymbal provides multiple REST API endpoints for uploading an organization's events, orders, and contacts.

Authentication

The Cymbal Partners API requires an API token for authentication. This API token must be created within the Cymbal manager for a given organization.

1. Create an organization in the manager: https://manager.cymbal.co

2. Generate an API token for the given partner: https://manager.cymbal.co/settings/integrations

3. Pass the API token in the Cymbal-Partner-API-Key header in every API request.

API tokens can be revoked by an organization within the manager. If API requests return a 403 status code, you will need to generate a new API token.
