Can we use API on the free Starter plan?

    Asked on April 17, 2024 at 8:13 PM

    I am using the Free version of JotForm and needing to create custom API integration into an app. I know I do not have FormID functionality with the Free version, but was hoping I could still work through some API documentation if I had only form. Unfortunately, I am still getting the response:

    {"responseCode":401,"message":"You're not authorized to use (/form-id) ","content":"","duration":"12.11ms","info":"https://api.jotform.com/docs#form-id"}

    Is there a way to write authUrls for with FormIDs for the Free and Basic Subscription tiers, or is customing coding not available to them?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi RPPCS,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Free Starter accounts are also able to use API with Jotform. Please note that you'll need the key for authentication to execute this parameters. For example below:

        curl -X GET "https://api.jotform.com/form/{formID}?apiKey={apiKey}"

    Let me show you how to do that:

    1. In your Account's API settings, click on Create a New Key.
