Quickstart

This quickstart gets you up and running with the Ping API. We'll cover where to find your API keys, choosing a client, and making your first request.

Grab your API key or check your access tokens from the Ping dashboard (https://app.ping.co.zw/api-keys). API keys are managed under Settings » API. Ping provides simple REST endpoints as well as official SDKs for popular languages. You can use cURL or one of the SDKs (JavaScript, Python, PHP) to interact with the API.

# cURL is most likely already installed on your machine
curl --version

Check out our list of SDKs

Making your first API request

Here is an example of listing businesses using a bearer token. Note the API host: api.ping.co.zw.

GET

/v1/get/businesses

curl -G https://api.ping.co.zw/v1/get/businesses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}" \
  -H "User-Type: user" \
  -d limit=10
