REST API

In this document you can find the reference for the TestFairy REST API. This API allows the developer to access and interact with TestFairy data remotely.

Getting Started​

Getting started with the REST API can be done via the command line with any programming language. Let's begin with an example: by listing all our projects.

A project is either an iOS app or an Android app (two apps with the same package name but on different platforms are considered two projects.)

curl -u "john@example.com:00001234cafecafe" "https://api.testfairy.com/api/1/projects/"

In the example above, you can see that our user is john@example.com and the API key is 0001234cafecafe. This user authentication token is required for all requests to the REST server.

Your API key is private, do not share it or post it on public code repositories or forums. To find your API key, refer to your preferences page.
