Quick Start

Get up and running with FrontRow in minutes:

1. Create Your Account

Sign up for a FrontRow account at frontrow.com to get your API credentials.

2. Get Your API Key

Navigate to your dashboard and generate an API key:

curl -X POST https://api.frontrow.com/v1/auth/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "your@email.com", "password": "your-password"}'

3. Make Your First API Call

Test your connection with a simple API request:

// Using the FrontRow JavaScript SDK
import { FrontRow } from '@frontrow/sdk';

const client = new FrontRow({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key'
});

// Fetch data
const response = await client.data.list();
console.log(response);

4. Explore the API

Use our interactive tools to explore available endpoints:

Core Concepts

Understanding these key concepts will help you make the most of FrontRow:

Resources

Resources are the fundamental building blocks in FrontRow. Each resource represents a type of data (users, projects, tasks, etc.) and can be accessed through consistent API patterns.

Authentication

FrontRow uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication. You can authenticate using:

  • API keys for server-to-server communication
  • OAuth flows for user authorization
  • JWT tokens for session management

Rate Limiting

To ensure fair usage and platform stability, FrontRow implements rate limiting:

  • 1000 requests per minute for standard plans
  • 10,000 requests per minute for enterprise plans
  • Custom limits available for high-volume applications

Webhooks

Stay synchronized with real-time events using webhooks:

  • Configure endpoints to receive event notifications
  • Choose specific events to subscribe to
  • Implement retry logic for reliability

Versioning

FrontRow APIs are versioned to ensure backward compatibility:

  • Current version: v1
  • Version specified in URL path: /v1/resources
  • Deprecation notices provided 6 months in advance
