Authentication methods

Authentication is required for almost all Tallyfy API endpoints. Choose an authentication method below based on your use case:

Remember to include the necessary headers (Authorization, Accept, X-Tallyfy-Client) in all your requests as shown in the examples.

Open Api > API code samples

The Tallyfy REST API documentation provides code samples across multiple programming languages for integrating with the platform using proper authentication headers and base URL endpoints.

Authentication > Get & use a personal access token

The Tallyfy API uses personal access tokens for authentication which requires including the token in the Authorization header along with Accept and X-Tallyfy-Client headers for all API requests with tokens being invalidated upon logout.

Integrations > Open API

The Tallyfy REST API enables developers to build custom integrations with full platform functionality through three authentication methods (user tokens application tokens and OAuth) while providing comprehensive access to process management task operations user administration and data export capabilities with standard JSON responses and reasonable rate limits.

Open Api > API integration guide

Tallyfy provides a REST API for workflow integration with external applications that uses different terminology than the UI (Checklists for Blueprints and Runs for Processes) and requires specific authentication headers with support for both user-based personal access tokens and OAuth application-based authentication including token refresh capabilities and multi-organization context handling.
