Getting Started with Lexful

Lexful is an API-first platform for managing your operations programmatically. This guide walks you from zero to a working integration using a few simple steps.

Recommended path for new developers

Follow these steps to get a working Lexful integration:

Get your credentials

Your Account ID (used in the X-Account-ID header).
An API key ID and secret.

Store these securely. Treat them like passwords.

Fetch an access token

Use your API key ID and secret to obtain a short-lived Bearer token:

curl --location 'https://api.us.lexful.app/v1/auth/token' \
  --header 'X-Account-Id: {YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "id": "{YOUR_API_KEY_ID}",
    "secret": "{YOUR_API_KEY_SECRET}"
  }'

If successful, the response includes a token you will send as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Make your first API call

Use the token to call an API endpoint, for example to list organizations:

curl --location 'https://api.us.lexful.app/v1/organizations' \
  --header 'X-Account-ID: {YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN}'

You should see a JSON response listing organizations accessible to your account.
