# Embedded API

WHO CAN USE THIS FEATURE?

A Embedded account is required to use Embedded Partner APIs. Contact your Workato representative for more info.

Workato's Embedded Partner Platform APIs enable partners to programmatically create and manage customer accounts and assets, including recipes and connections.

# Base URL

The Embedded Partner APIs are a collection of endpoints for interacting with customer accounts, recipes, and more. Each endpoint contains the base URL and the resource path to the object.

The base URL of the endpoint depends on the data center (opens new window) you use. Here are the base URLs for each of Workato's data centers:

US Data Center
https://www.workato.com/api/
EU Data Center
https://app.eu.workato.com/api/
JP Data Center
https://app.jp.workato.com/api/
SG Data Center

AU Data Center

# Embedded APIs with Environments

The Embedded API structure allows you to precisely target each environment (Development, Test, and Production) when using the Environments feature for your customers.

# Standard access without Environments

The standard Embedded API allows you to interact with customers regardless of whether they have Environments provisioned. You must add the user_id directly to the endpoint: /api/managed_users/:user_id to interact with customers who do not have Environments provisioned.

# Targeted Environment access

The API enables targeted access to the Development, Test, and Production environments when interacting with customers who have Environments provisioned. Use the following endpoints based on your environment requirements:

  • Development: Access the development environment using /api/managed_users/:user_id_dev
  • Test: Access the test environment using /api/managed_users/:user_id_test
  • Production: Access the production environment using /api/managed_users/:user_id_prod

For guidance on targeting the correct environment, refer to the Embedded Environments APIs (opens new window) section in the Workato documentation.
