The Monofor REST API
in four moves.
Provision a client, fetch a token, call /users, then wire identity into your platform. Standard REST conventions throughout — no SDK gymnastics.
- OAuth client-credentials
- Cursor pagination
- ~8 minutes to read
Auth, list, mutate, automate.
The mental model. The endpoint reference and SDK examples live in the help center.
- 01
Provision an API client
In Monosign, create a service-account credential or OAuth client with the scopes your integration needs. Stash the client ID and secret in your secrets manager — never in the repo.
Tip — For long-running automation, prefer OAuth client-credentials with short TTLs over static API keys. - 02
Request an access token
POST to the token endpoint with the client credentials. You get back a short-lived bearer token. Cache it for the TTL minus a small buffer — that single round-trip saves you a request per call.
- 03
Make your first call
GET /users to confirm the token works. The response is cursor-paginated; follow next_cursor when you need more than one page.
Tip — Pass an idempotency-key header on POST and PATCH calls so retries are safe. - 04
Wire it into your platform
Most teams start by scripting joiner / mover / leaver events into the API, then layer in webhook subscriptions so identity changes drive downstream automation in real time.
The complete walkthrough — with every screenshot, every flag, and version-specific notes — lives in our help center.
