SortedREACT's APIs enable you to integrate REACT functionality into your own systems and sites. This section explains how to call REACT's API endpoints.
API Headers in REACT
To call any of REACT's APIs, you'll need an API key. You can create one from the Settings > API Keys tab in the REACT UI.
Note
For more information on getting a REACT API key, see the Setting up API keys section of the Settings page.
To use your API key, include it in an x-api-key header when making an API call. We also recommend that you include JSON Content-Type and Accept headers too, as REACT only works with JSON data.
