Twenty was built to be developer-friendly, offering powerful APIs that adapt to your custom data model. Forniamo quattro tipi distinti di API per soddisfare diverse esigenze di integrazione.
Approccio incentrato sullo sviluppatore
Twenty generates APIs specifically for your data model:
- Nessun ID lungo richiesto: Utilizza direttamente i nomi degli oggetti e dei campi negli endpoint
- Oggetti standard e personalizzati trattati allo stesso modo: I tuoi oggetti personalizzati ricevono lo stesso trattamento API di quelli predefiniti
- Endpoint dedicati: Ogni oggetto e campo ottiene il proprio endpoint API
- Documentazione personalizzata: Generata specificamente per il modello di dati del tuo workspace
Your personalized API documentation is available under Settings → API & Webhooks after creating an API key. Since Twenty generates APIs that match your custom data model, the documentation is unique to your workspace.
The Two API Types
Core API
Accessibile su /rest/ o /graphql/
Work with your actual records (the data):
- Create, read, update, delete People, Companies, Opportunities, etc.
- Query and filter data
- Gestire le relazioni dei record
Accessibile su /rest/metadata/ o /metadata/
Manage your workspace and data model:
- Crea, modifica o elimina oggetti e campi
- Configura le impostazioni del workspace
- Define relationships between objects
REST vs GraphQL
Both Core and Metadata APIs are available in REST and GraphQL formats:
| Formato | Available Operations |
|---|
| REST | CRUD, batch operations, upserts |
| GraphQL | Same + batch upserts, relationship queries in one call |
Endpoint API
| Environment | Base URL |
|---|
| Cloud | https://api.twenty.com/ |
| Self-Hosted | https://{your-domain}/ |
Autenticazione
Every API request requires an API key in the header:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Crea una chiave API
- Go to Settings → APIs & Webhooks
- Click + Create key
- Configura:
- Name: Descriptive name for the key
- Expiration Date: When the key expires
- Clicca su Salva
- Copy immediately — the key is only shown once
Your API key grants access to sensitive data. Don’t share it with untrusted services. If compromised, disable it immediately and generate a new one.
Assign a Role to an API Key
For better security, assign a specific role to limit access:
- Vai a Impostazioni → Ruoli
- Click on the role to assign
- Apri la scheda Assegnazione
- Under API Keys, click + Assign to API key
- Select the API key
The key will inherit that role’s permissions. See Permissions for details.
Gestisci chiavi API
Regenerate: Settings → APIs & Webhooks → Click key → Regenerate
Delete: Settings → APIs & Webhooks → Click key → Delete
API Playground
Test your APIs directly in the browser with our built-in playground — available for both REST and GraphQL.
Access the Playground
- Go to Settings → APIs & Webhooks
- Create an API key (required)
- Click on REST API or GraphQL API to open the playground
What You Get
- Interactive documentation: Generated for your specific data model
- Live testing: Execute real API calls against your workspace
- Schema explorer: Browse available objects, fields, and relationships
- Request builder: Construct queries with autocomplete
The playground reflects your custom objects and fields, so documentation is always accurate for your workspace.
Operazioni Batch
Both REST and GraphQL support batch operations:
- Dimensione batch: Fino a 60 record per richiesta
- Operations: Create, update, delete multiple records
GraphQL-only features:
- Batch Upsert: Create or update in one call
- Use plural object names (e.g.,
CreateCompanies instead of CreateCompany)
Rate Limits
API requests are throttled to ensure platform stability:
| Limit | Valore |
|---|
| Requests | 100 calls per minute |
| Batch size | 60 records per call |
Use batch operations to maximize throughput — process up to 60 records in a single API call instead of making individual requests.
