Carta's API platform lets you create API credentials, called apps, that pull your firm or company's Carta data into your own tools.

What it is

Create an API app to connect your own tools to your Carta data. Each app is the credential that lets what you build pull your firm or company's data. That could be an internal reporting dashboard, a data pipeline, or an AI agent your team builds.

Why it matters

More teams are building their own internal tools and AI agents, and they need data to work with. Self-serve API access lets firm and company admins connect what they build directly to Carta.

How it works

Go to API access in your Firm or Company settings, give your app a name, and choose what it can access. Only firm and company admins can create apps, and each app works only with your own firm or company's data. You can view an app's details, copy its client secret whenever you need it, and delete an app to revoke its credentials.
