IntakeQ Appointments API

Overview

The IntakeQ Appointment API is composed of HTTP endpoints that can be reached through a REST API. Additionally, you can setup webhooks that are fired when an appointment status changes; giving you the opportunity to watch for changes in realtime and integrate with 3rd party software.

For Intake Forms API, please refer to this article.

Getting Started

To get started, you first need to enable API access (navigate to More > Settings > Integrations > Developer API). That’s also where you’ll find your API key, used to authenticate your HTTP calls.

Only the main account owner has access to the API tab.

Never expose your API key in plain text (config files, source control, etc.).

Consider setting an IP Allow-List as explained here.

Base URL

All endpoints are located under the following URL: https://intakeq.com/api/v1/

An example of a typical API call would look like this:

[GET] https://intakeq.com/api/v1/appointments/[appointment-id]

Authentication

Every HTTP request needs to contain your API key embedded in an authentication header named X-Auth-Key.

X-Auth-Key:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
