About
Jotform's API exposes nearly everything the form builder can do: read forms and submissions, create forms, manage users and reports, and receive webhooks. You generate an API key under My Account, and the free Starter plan includes a daily API allowance that covers light integrations and prototypes. Good for agencies that already build client forms in Jotform.
