Overview
Getting started with the API is straighforward and requires minimal setup. Read our full API Docs at docs.motiontools.io/.
Base URL
The very first step is to decide on the environment to use. This choice will define the base URL for upcoming requests:
Production environment → https://api.motiontools.io/
Headers
Requests to the API require the following two headers:
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>Content-Type: application/json
Authorization is achieved via a Bearer token. See Create an API key to learn how to obtain a token.
Identifying the request
The API Documentation lists all endpoints available on MotionTools.
The endpoints can be browsed in the left side of the screen menu, where they are grouped in multiple categories. Alternatively, a search feature makes it easy to find & jump to endpoints of interest.
Visual example of how the API documentation looks for the Create Hailing Booking endpoint.
The API Documentation showcases detailed information about each endpoint, including:
- Complete request body specification.
- Supported queryparameters by the respective endpoint.
- Possible response cases: success & failure.
- A sample payload for successful responses (in the right panel).
- Typed information about all values expected as part of the request body, and of values present on the response — including whether a value is mandatory or nullable.
