To interact with the Bambuser REST API, you need to generate an API key. Follow these steps to create one:

Steps to Generate an API Key:

1. Log in to your Bambuser account.
2. Navigate to BamHub.
3. Click on Settings.
4. Select Integrations.
5. Click on "Configure" next to API Keys.
6. Click on the (+ API KEY) button in the top-right corner.
7. Choose the appropriate API key scope based on your needs. (The required scopes for each endpoint are listed in the REST API documentation.)
8. Click Create and securely store your API key.

Determining the Correct Base URL

The base URL you should use depends on the location of your Bambuser dashboard:

If your dashboard URL is https://lcx.bambuser.com/, use the Global Base URL: https://liveshopping-api.bambuser.com/v1

If your dashboard URL is https://lcx-eu.bambuser.com/, use the Europe Base URL:  https://liveshopping-api-eu.bambuser.com/v1

How to Authenticate API Requests

All API requests require authentication using the API key you generated. To authenticate, you must include the API key in the Authorization header of your HTTP request.

Example:

Authorization: Token YOURAPIKEYHERE

If authentication is incorrect or missing, the request will fail.

Why Use the REST API?

The Bambuser REST API allows you to automate tasks and integrate Bambuser features into your systems. Instead of manually managing live shopping events, products, or users, you can use API calls to do this efficiently.

Common Use Cases for the REST API

• Fetch Show Statistics – Retrieve engagement data and analytics for your live shopping events.
• Bulk Invite Users – Automatically send invitations to multiple users at once.
• Schedule or Manage Shows – Create, update, or delete live shopping events programmatically.
• Manage Products – Add, update, or remove products linked to your shows.

By using the API, businesses can save time, reduce manual work, and improve efficiency.
