The Org API reference

Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to our API documentation. Our REST API provides unrestricted structured access to the worlds largest database of organizational charts. Currently the main entrypoint is though a company domain name.

Endpoint

The API is served from https://api.theorg.com/v1.

Authentication

The API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in your Subscription Center.

Authentication to the API is performed by passing the key in a header called X-API-KEY.

Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Rate Limiting

You can make 15 requests per second to a single endpoint of our API.
