Developer API
Learn how to use Sprinto’s Developer API to automate compliance tasks by securely transmitting security data from source applications in real time.
The Developer API in Sprinto allows you to automate compliance tasks by sending security data from various source applications to Sprinto in real time. By generating and using an API key, you can authenticate and integrate Sprinto’s Developer APIs into your existing workflows, ensuring secure and efficient data exchange.
The Developer API is particularly useful for:
Automating the ingestion of compliance-related data from integrated systems.
Reducing manual data entry for security and compliance tasks.
Enabling seamless communication between your systems and Sprinto’s platform.
You can view detailed technical documentation for all supported endpoints and authentication methods here: Sprinto Developer API Documentation.
