Make your first API call in under 5 minutes

Quick start guide

1

Get your API key

Create a free account and generate your API key from the Developer Portal.

Get API Key
2

Set your environment variable

Store your API key as an environment variable for secure access.

bash
export SYNTER_API_KEY=syn_your_api_key_here
3

Make your first request

Read your Google Ads campaigns. Script names are platform-prefixed, so swap the prefix for another platform: meta_ads_get_campaigns, linkedin_ads_get_campaigns, reddit_ads_get_campaigns, and so on.

bash
curl -X POST https://syntermedia.ai/api/v1/tools/run \
  -H "X-Synter-Key: $SYNTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "script_name": "google_ads_get_campaigns"
  }'

Log in with the CLI

Prefer the terminal? The Synter CLI can create and store an API key for you with no copy and paste:

bash
npm install -g synter
synter login

Choose the browser login option. The CLI opens syntermedia.ai/cli/login with a one-time device code in the URL and prints a short confirmation code (like ABCD-EFGH) so you can verify you are on the right page. Sign in in the browser, and the page confirms the login automatically. The CLI is polling in the background: it picks up a freshly created API key and stores it locally, so there is nothing to paste.

Login links expire after 10 minutes

If the link expires before you finish signing in, run synter login again. Keys created this way appear as "CLI Login" in the Developer Portal, where you can revoke them at any time.
