Integrating with Narvi's Backend API

Narvi provides a powerful backend API that allows you to access and manipulate your data within our platform. Whether you're building a web application, mobile app, or integrating with other systems, our API makes it easy to leverage Narvi's capabilities in your projects.

Our REST API documentation serves as a comprehensive resource for developers. You can access it here. The documentation provides detailed information on available endpoints, request parameters, response formats, and usage examples.

For Node.js and Python developers, we offer a dedicated integration libraries. Those libraries streamlines the integration process, making it even more straightforward to interact with Narvi's backend. You can find the libraries here.

To get started with Narvi's API integration, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for Narvi: If you haven't already, sign up for an account at Narvi.

2. Review Documentation: Familiarize yourself with our API by exploring our REST API documentation.

3. Install the Node.js Library: If you're using Node.js, install our integration library from npm using the command "npm install narvi"

4. Authentication: Ensure you have the necessary API credentials for authentication.

Authentication is a crucial step in interacting with Narvi's Backend API. To ensure the security of your data and API access, we use API keys and private keys that are generated within your Narvi account.

Here's how the authentication process works:

1. Sign in to your Narvi account: Log in to your Narvi account at my.narvi.com.

2. Generate API key: To generate API keys in the app, click the company name in the top right corner, then select "Settings" and go to the "API" tab. You can can also use this link. These keys will be used for authentication in your application.
   
   Important: API key grants the exact access and permissions that your user profile possesses within our web application. This means it grants access to all your entities and iban accounts.
   

3. Securely store your keys: Once generated, ensure that you securely store your API keys and private keys. These keys are sensitive and should not be shared publicly.

4. Use your API key for integration: Read the docs listed above to see how to use your API key and private key to integrate your application, either directly connecting to our REST API, or by using provided node.js Narvi library.

By following this authentication process, you'll have secure access to Narvi's Backend API, allowing you to interact with our platform and access your data seamlessly.
