An API (Application Programming Interface) is a way for different software systems to talk to each other. It lets you pull data out of ABOSS and use it in other tools, automatically, without manual exports or copy-pasting.
ABOSS has two APIs:
The Public Event API (
data.a-boss.net) — a lightweight, event-based API for website integrations. Use this to display your public event dates on your website. Read more about the Public Event API here.The Agency API — a full agency-level API that gives programmatic access to all data within your ABOSS account. Use this when you want to build real integrations with external tools, CRMs, or custom workflows.
This article covers everything you need to know to get started with the Agency API.

More information
1. What the Agency API can do
The Agency API gives you access to the core data in your ABOSS account: advancings, contacts, contracts, deals, events, invoices, locations, projects, and travel.
This makes it possible to connect ABOSS to external systems like your CRM, marketing tools, or reporting dashboards, so your data flows automatically between platforms without manual exports.
💡 Setting up an API integration often requires technical knowledge. It's usually a good idea to involve a developer for this.
2. Get access
Access to the Agency API is managed via the API Key Manager in your ABOSS account. There is one API Key Manager per agency, only this person can generate and manage the API key.
You can find it here:
In ABOSS Agency, to go Office.
Scroll down in the menu on the left to API Key and click Settings.
Add your password. To generate a new key, click "Generate new key". Once generated, click on the key to copy it to your clipboard.
⚠️ Your API key is shown only once. Once you navigate away, you cannot retrieve it again. Make sure to copy and store it, for example in a password manager, before closing the page.
3. Keep your API key safe
Your API key grants full access to all data within your agency account. Treat it like a password.
Only share it via secure methods (e.g. a password manager)
Limit access strictly to the person responsible for the integration
If your key is compromised, regenerate it immediately, this will invalidate the old key
Once you regenerate a key, the old key stops working immediately
