Authentication & setup
OAuth 2.0
Formstack uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization, allowing third-party applications to access Formstack accounts (forms, fields, submissions, etc.) on behalf of users.
Personal Access Tokens (Latest Approach)
The V2025 API uses Personal Access Tokens (PATs) managed within the Formstack Admin environment, providing better security practices and a unified way to manage API credentials across Formstack products.
Getting Credentials

Navigate to the profile menu dropdown → API
Add a new SCIM Token to be used in the "Authorization: Bearer" header
