Step-by-Step Instructions

Create your API Key

Log into your Socket account, access the ‘Practice Settings’ menu then choose ‘Integrations’.

Finally choose to ‘Show All Available Integrations’ and scroll down to find Socket.

Choose ‘New API Key’ and then select the permissions you require.

Please note, when an API key is created it will expire in 12 months, so you will need to re-create this each year.

Getting Access

You’ll need to use your API key in each header to authenticate requests.

Making Requests

  • The API follows standard REST conventions:

    • GET – Retrieve data (e.g. list proposals, fetch client details)

    • POST – Create new records (e.g. add a lead)

  • All requests and responses use JSON format.

Common Use Cases

  • Create clients and leads from your CRM or ERP system

  • Retrieve proposal information from Socket

  • Pull reporting data into your BI tools

API Reference

A full list of endpoints, parameters, and examples is available in the Socket API documentation (link provided above).
