🔌 Getting Started

Learn how to make your first API requests using the DebtWise API.

Get access

There are two different environments in DebtWise: staging and production. We are going to use the staging environment in this tutorial. DebtWise uses bearer tokens to authorize requests. To get a token, you need to send a request to support@debt-wise.com with your company details.

Make an initial request

After you have received a token, you can confirm everything is up and running. Open a command prompt and enter the following command (change Authorization header value with your token):

curl -X POST https://staging.debt-wise.com/api/ping \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "API-Version: 2024-07-01" \
  -d '{"payload": "DebtWise is 🤘"}'

The response should be what you sent in the payload:

DebtWise is 🤘
