# Open API

The Slate **Open API** is a turnkey, fully-documented API that is always up-to-date with Configurable Joins bases and accessible Slate data points.

In the Slate Open API, users can

- get **code samples**
- review **full documentation**
- select types of objects and operations to perform on them, including **fetching an object** and **listing objects** by particular criteria
- export the Slate Open API **definition file**

> [!NOTE]
> 🔑 Requires role [Administrator (All Access)](/v1/docs/user-access)

## Accessing Slate Open API

To view the endpoints provided by the Slate Open API:

1. Select **Database** from the main navigation.
2. Under Import and Data Processing, select **Integration Center.**
3. On the right, select **Open API**. You are redirected to the Open API interface.

You arrive at the **Overview page**.

### Exporting the definition file

Export the Slate Open API definition file by selecting **Export**, then choosing either **Original** or **Bundled References**.

- **Original** exports all `$ref`s without resolving them
- **Bundled References** exports all `$ref`s resolved, placing them in `component` sections

The definition document is exported as a `.json` file.

## Exploring endpoints

Select an endpoint from the list. A list appears for that endpoint with two options:

- `List <endpoint> objects`
- `Get <endpoint> object`

Select one of the two, depending on the data you’re looking to retrieve.

The **URL** of the operation appears, along with a brief **description**:

## Testing endpoints

In the **Parameters** box, enter the fields you want to see returned from a test response.

### Get object operations

To test a *Get object* operation:

1. In the **Parameters** box, configure the following settings:
  - (Required) **id**: Enter the **GUID** of the record you want to retrieve information about.
  - (Optional) **includeFields:** Enter a comma-separated list of any fields you want included in the response. For example, for a person record, you might enter `Preferred,Last,Birthdate,Email`.
    - Find these fields listed under **Responses > Body** on the left of the operation page.
    - **Note:** Capitalization of these fields is important.
  - (Optional) **includeNulls**: Choose whether `Null` values should be included in the response.
2. Select **Send API Request.** A sample response is generated.
