Read posts, write votes, sync segments, fire webhooks. Every resource in Upvoty is exposed through a clean REST API with strong auth and clear docs.
curl https://api.upvoty.com/v2/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer up_live_..." \
-d '{

"user_id": "usr_123"
}'Posts, comments, votes, boards, users, tags, segments. If it exists in Upvoty, it's in the API.
Subscribe to any event. Get pinged when posts are created, status changes, or votes cross thresholds.
Per-environment keys with read-only or read-write scope. Rotate and revoke without downtime.
The same API that powers our dashboard powers yours.
Standard HTTP everywhere.
Generate clients in any language.
Event-driven integration.
Fair, generous, documented.
Cursor-based, fast.
Read, write, admin scopes.
Every API call traceable.
Test without touching prod.
For most users, the Upvoty dashboard is the entire product. For engineering teams, automation specialists, and AI-driven workflows, the API is where Upvoty really lives. Every resource you can see in the dashboard, posts, comments, votes, boards, users, tags, segments, status definitions, is available through a clean, predictable REST API with full read and write access. The same endpoints that power our own UI power yours.
We treat the API as a product, not an afterthought. That means a versioned base path (v2 today, with a clear deprecation policy), an OpenAPI specification so you can generate clients in any language in seconds, cursor-based pagination that stays fast even on million-row datasets, and detailed rate-limit headers on every response so your integrations degrade gracefully under load.
Polling an API to check for changes is wasteful. Webhooks flip the model: you tell Upvoty which events you care about, point us at a URL, and we POST to it the moment something happens. Subscribe to post.created, post.status_changed, vote.added, comment.created, whatever event matters to your workflow. Webhook payloads are signed with HMAC so you can verify they really came from Upvoty, and they include retry logic so a temporary outage on your side does not lose data.
The most common API integrations we see fall into a few buckets. Pushing customer attributes (plan, MRR, region) from your billing system into Upvoty so segments stay current without anyone managing a sync. Auto-creating engineering tickets in Jira or Linear when a roadmap item moves to "In progress". Pulling feedback into a data warehouse for executive reporting alongside revenue and churn data. Powering custom dashboards that show feedback velocity per product area, per team, per quarter.
For teams that want even more flexibility, our native integrations are mostly built on the same API, so anything our integrations do, your engineers can do too. There is no hidden internal API we use that you cannot.
API keys are scoped (read-only, read-write, admin), environment-specific (sandbox keys never touch production data), and rotatable without downtime. Every API call is recorded in an audit log with the key, timestamp, IP, and outcome, which makes incident investigation and compliance reviews straightforward. Tie API access to team roles so the keys a contractor has access to are different from the keys your CTO has access to.
If your workflow involves AI agents, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, custom LLM pipelines, you can use the API directly, or you can use Upvoty MCP, which exposes the same surface area through the Model Context Protocol for native integration with AI tools. Either way, the API is the foundation that the rest of Upvoty's automation story sits on top of.
