The Glime API

REST + GraphQL · API-first by design — the Glime UI is built on the same API you get.

Everything in Glime is addressable: product management, pricing calculations, quote creation and updates, approval workflows, contract generation, PDF export, AI recommendations, and order conversion. ERP, accounting, procurement, and e-commerce platforms integrate without custom database access.

Status: the API surface below is the v1 contract shipping with the hosted backend. The interactive sandbox currently runs on a local data layer that mirrors these signatures one-to-one (GlimeData.list/get/create), so integrations built against this contract will not need rework.

Authentication

API keys are created per workspace in Settings → API. Send the key as a bearer token. Keys are scoped (read-only, read-write, admin) and can be rotated without downtime.

curl https://api.glimecrm.com/v1/accounts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer glime_sk_live_…"

GraphQL

One endpoint, https://api.glimecrm.com/graphql, for cross-object reads in a single round trip:

query DealDesk($id: ID!) {
  opportunity(id: $id) {
    name stage amount winProbability
    account { name industry }
    quotes {
      number version total status
      lines { product qty unitPrice discount net }
      approvals { step approver status }
    }
  }
}

Webhooks

Subscribe to quote.created, quote.version.created, approval.requested, approval.completed, contract.signed, order.created, and export.completed. Deliveries are signed (HMAC-SHA256) and retried with exponential backoff for 24 hours.
