The Filestage API is a powerful tool for developers and engineers looking to streamline their team's workflow. By automating certain actions involving Filestage and other tools, the API can improve overall efficiency and eliminate manual tasks.

Benefits of Using the Filestage API

By using the API, you can:

✅Automate data transfer between Filestage and other systems ensuring consistent data as well as adhering to company guidelines

✅Replace manual tasks involving other tools with automated actions to save time and reduce errors

Example Uses of the API

Some of the ways that Filestage users have leveraged the API to meet their goals include:

  • Creating assets in Filestage based on triggers from other systems (e.g. creating a project in Filestage when a customer submits a briefing request)

  • Creating new review steps and automatically inviting stakeholders based on email addresses stored in another system

Generate your unique API key

Customers can generate their own API key through the team tab. Each team member can have multiple API keys. To generate a new API key, follow these steps:

  1. Open your API tab

    • Click on your Team settings and then open the API tab.

  2. Click on the Generate API key button

  3. Save your API key

    • Copy your API key.

    • Once your API key is copied and saved somewhere secure, you can click the Yes, I have saved my keys button and exit.

⚠️Please note: Due to security reasons, this API key will not be displayed again. Please make sure you store it somewhere safe. Otherwise, you will have to generate a new key if you lose it.

Regenerating an API Key

If you need to regenerate your API Key, click Regenerate an API Key button. This will make your previous API key invalid. Please check off the warning message to continue.
