Getting Started

Is the Finance API right for you?

Before requesting access, see if the Finance API will suit the needs of the integration you have in mind.

View the full OpenAPI specification for information on all endpoints at the Developer Portal.

Read the documentation to get a sense of what you can do.

MSN only: permissions and special endpoint access

1. Register

Register your application with the Developer Portal, the central hub for APIs at UW.

2. Request access

Complete the Request Access form so we can determine what level of approval is needed.

(This is not to be confused with requesting access to the Finance API for your application within the Developer Portal; you must fill out this form before your application will have access granted.)

3. Start developing!

Consider joining the development team’s sprint reviews to stay on top of what’s changing and get in touch with other API users. Contact us at finance-apis@doit.wisc.edu to be added to the invite.
