Pax8 APIConnect Pax8 without building on its API
Pax8 has a REST API. Pax8 partners request keys in the Pax8 app, integrators must go through Pax8 (integrations@pax8.com), and marketplace vendors get credentials from their Pax8 contact. If you're reading the docs because you need Pax8 to talk to the rest of your stack, Caddi does that without you writing or maintaining integration code: you show it the job once, and it runs it across Pax8 and your other tools.

Building on the Pax8 API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get Pax8 credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your Pax8 account once. Caddi holds the connection. |
| Writing the integration | A developer maps fields, handles pagination, retries and rate limits, and writes the sync. | You show Caddi the Pax8 task the way you'd train a new hire. It writes verified code for it. |
| Steps the API doesn't cover | Screens with no endpoint stay manual, or need a separate RPA tool. | Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session where there's no API, in the same automation. |
| The other systems in the loop | Each extra tool is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own. | One automation runs across all the tools the job touches. |
| Keeping it running | Someone owns the code when the API version, fields or your process change. | Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged. |
Building on the API is the right call when you have engineers and the integration is your product. When the goal is getting Pax8 work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.

Pax8 API questions
Does Pax8 have an API?
Yes. Pax8 has a REST API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 client credentials (Delegated OAuth for integrators). The official documentation is at https://devx.pax8.com/.
How do I get access to the Pax8 API?
Pax8 partners request keys in the Pax8 app, integrators must go through Pax8 (integrations@pax8.com), and marketplace vendors get credentials from their Pax8 contact.
Does the Pax8 API have rate limits?
1,000 successful calls per minute; going over returns HTTP 429.
Can I connect Pax8 to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Pax8 task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Pax8 and the other tools the job touches. Where a step has no API, Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session in the same automation.
Do I need a developer to automate Pax8 with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Pax8 is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
