Overview

TINT's API is a RESTful API that allows you to interact with TINT's data and features. It is built on HTTP, uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol to authorize applications to access data on behalf of the user, and requests and responses are formatted in JSON:API specification.
The TINT API provides a variety of endpoints that allow you to do things like:

• Create, update, and delete tints
• Manage users
• Manage teams
• Insights into your TINTs
• And much more

The TINT API is a powerful tool that can be used to automate tasks, keep your data up-to-date, and integrate with other applications. If you are looking for a way to get more out of TINT, then our API is definitely the way to go.
