The Portico API
is coming soon.
A clean, REST-first API for the teams and developers who want to build on top of Portico — trigger and read calls, sync data into the systems you already run, and react to what happens on every conversation in real time.
Be first in line for early access
We’re opening the Portico API to a private developer preview before general availability. Add your email and we’ll send sandbox keys, documentation, and an invite as soon as your wave opens.
Programmatic control over your front desk
The Portico API mirrors the product you already use — every action a receptionist takes, and every record it creates, becomes something you can automate.
Manage calls & transcripts
Place outbound calls, read live and completed call state, and pull full transcripts, summaries, and outcomes to power your own dashboards and workflows.
Sync data both ways
Push customer context, hours, and routing rules into Portico, and pull captured details back out — so your CRM, calendar, and helpdesk always agree.
Subscribe to webhooks
Get notified the instant a call completes, a transcript is ready, or a booking is made. React in real time instead of polling for changes.
Provision numbers & agents
Create phone numbers, spin up agents, and configure their scripts, languages, and escalation paths programmatically — perfect for multi-location rollouts.
A REST API that reads like plain English
Predictable resources, standard verbs, JSON in and JSON out. Here’s an illustrative example of placing a call and the response your integration would receive.
POST /v1/calls
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_9f3c...c210
Content-Type: application/json
{
"agent_id": "agent_frontdesk",
"to": "+14155550137",
"context": {
"customer_name": "Dana Whitfield",
"reason": "reschedule appointment"
}
}
200 OK
{
"id": "call_2Y7hK4",
"status": "queued",
"agent_id": "agent_frontdesk",
"to": "+14155550137",
"created_at": "2026-07-22T14:03:11Z",
"transcript_url": null,
"webhook_events": ["call.completed", "transcript.ready"]
}Illustrative only. Endpoints, fields, and shapes are subject to change before launch.
Built for real integrations, not just demos
We’re designing the API the way we’d want to consume it — documented, versioned, and safe to ship to production.
REST + webhooks
Resource-oriented endpoints over HTTPS with predictable status codes, cursor pagination, and idempotency keys — plus signed webhooks so your systems react the moment something happens.
Keys & scopes
Issue multiple API keys per workspace, each with least-privilege scopes and a full audit trail. Rotate or revoke a key instantly without touching the rest of your integration.
Sandbox environment
A dedicated test mode with simulated calls and transcripts, so you can build and verify your entire flow end to end before a single real customer is on the line.
SDKs & references
Official client libraries for Node and Python, an OpenAPI spec, copy-paste examples, and a ready-to-import request collection so your first successful call takes minutes.
Start using Portico today — your workspace will be API-ready the day the developer preview opens.
