Getting Started with the T3 API

There are three common methods of using the T3 API:

1. API Reports: configuring a spreadsheet to load and refresh API reports automatically. This does not require any code.
2. API Scripts: talking to the API using a programming language like Python
3. Postman: an API platform used for designing, building, testing, and documenting APIs

Note: The T3 API requires a T3+ subscription for most endpoints.

Setting Up Python

To talk to the T3 API with Python scripts, you'll need to do some setup. Refer to the Setting Up Python guide for details.

T3 Python Libraries

You do not have to write Python scripts from scratch. T3 has a number of Python libraries to assist you in authentication, data loading, and analysis. Learn more here

Postman

T3 has a public workspace set up on Postman: https://www.postman.com/track-trace-tools/t3-api/overview

This Postman workspace was generated from the T3 OpenAPI spec, found here: https://api.trackandtrace.tools/v2/spec/openapi.json

There is an example Postman Flow which demonstrates how you can go about authenticating and reading data from the API via Postman: https://www.postman.com/track-trace-tools/t3-api/flow/680a542024c4ab0040f2bb99

Next Steps

• Learn how to set up your Python environment
• Refer to the T3 API documentation to explore all the available endpoints.
• Most API endpoints require a T3+ subscription. If you don't have a T3+ subscription, you can sign up here.
