An API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. You can use your forum's API to do deep integrations between your forum and your website or any other application.
Webhooks work especially great when combined with the API. For example, the webhook can notify your application when a new user signs up for your forum and then you can use the API to make modifications to that user's forum account.
API reference
The API for your forum is documented here:
https://www.websitetoolbox.com/docs/api/
The Swagger definition for the API is available at: Forums-v1-swagger.json.
Viewing your API requests
You can view the API requests that you've made and the response that was received by following the instructions below:
- Log in to your Website Toolbox account.
- Click the Integrate link.
- Click the API link.
- Under History, click a request to view its details.
The History list shows the HTTP method and endpoint of each request, the date and time it was made, and whether the response was a success or a failure.
Clicking a request opens a page containing:
- Headers: the API user name, user agent, and IP address that sent the request.
- Parameters: the values that were included in the request.
- Response: the HTTP status code and the response content that your forum returned.
API request records are kept for 30 days.

An MCP server is also available for integrating with AI tools and agents.
