Self-Service APIs

CRM.COM’s self-service API collection offers a vast range of consumer operations which are performed within a secure environment whilst offering you the flexibility to design your own apps or portals according to your needs.

This is not a complete list of our self-service APIs, but rather a sample of the most important APIs which are available to perform actions for contacts in a front-end.

Refer to the self-service APIs documentation for a complete set of self-service APIs, and you may also find our Integrators Hub useful for integrating with CRM.COM.

First and foremost, a contact authentication process must be performed before using any self-service APIs. As a result, an access token is to be provided and must be used in subsequent API calls.
