Developer API
Programmatic procurement.
OAuth 2.0 REST API for MSPs, IT teams, and engineering-ops groups that want quotes, orders, and dev-pool refreshes without a portal round-trip. Sandbox available to invited partners.
Surface

Six endpoint groups cover the full procurement loop. Status reflects current production readiness.

POST /v1/quotes
Submit a quote request with SKUs and counts.
GET /v1/quotes/:id
Poll quote status (pending / signed / expired).
POST /v1/orders
Convert a signed quote to a purchase order.
POST /v1/dev-pool/swaps
Request a unit swap against a dev-pool contract.
POST /v1/webhooks

Auth
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials grant for server-to-server calls. Exchange your client ID and secret at POST /oauth/token for a short-lived bearer token.
Tokens expire in 60 minutes; refresh by re-issuing the credentials grant. Tokens are scoped per client and never leave your backend.
Email [[email protected]] with your company name, intended use, and call volume estimate to request a sandbox client.
