The Frontify GraphQL API lets you query and manage your Frontify environment programmatically. Whether you want to sync assets to an external system, automate user management, retrieve brand data for a custom integration, or build an app on top of the platform, the API is where that work happens.
You'll find the full API reference and documentation in the Frontify Developer Portal.
What can you do with the API?
The API gives you programmatic access to the core objects in your Frontify environment, including:
Accounts, brands, and workspaces
Libraries, projects, and folders
Assets and their metadata
Users and permissions
Common use cases include pulling assets into third-party tools, automating onboarding workflows, building internal dashboards, and keeping metadata in sync across systems.
What do you need to get started?
You'll need a Frontify account with API access enabled. Authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0. To generate your credentials, go to your Frontify account settings and look for the Developer section, or visit the authentication guide in the developer docs.
If you're unsure whether your plan includes API access, contact your account manager or reach out to Support.
