Getting started

What is the timing for getting API access?

Carta’s API platform is currently in a beta phase with a limited number of partners. Broader API access will be available in early 2024. If you are interested, fill out the API partner waitlist form, and we will provide updates later this year.

Where can I find API information to learn more?

Check out our API Documentation to explore Carta’s developer platform more in-depth. The API Reference, Quickstart Guide, and Playground Environment are great starting points.

Can I interact with sample data prior to getting playground access?

Yes, Carta offers a mocking service. We invite you to experiment with our mocking service while waiting for broader API access in 2024. It doesn’t require genuine credentials and always returns static but valid responses to your requests.
