# Workato API

Workato's Platform API provides you with access to Workato resources. With this, you can manage recipes, connections and jobs programmatically to expand the functionality of your Workato account.

# Authentication

All API requests must contain:

X-USER-TOKEN and X-USER-EMAIL in the request headers OR
user_token & user_email in the query parameters

The user_token/X-USER-TOKEN can be found in your settings page. Alternatively, navigate to your account settings by clicking on Account Settings in the dropdown of the top right of your homepage in Workato. Your API key can be found in the left navigation panel in the subsequent page.

# Supported Formats

Workato API supports sending request body with the application/json content-type. All replies are also encoded in application/json; charset=utf-8.
