Frappe API Development

Build secure, well-designed APIs using Frappe's REST and RPC patterns.

When to use

• Creating custom RPC endpoints (@frappe.whitelist)
• Building REST API integrations
• Implementing webhooks for external systems
• Setting up API authentication (token, OAuth)
• Exposing business logic to frontends

Inputs required

• API purpose (CRUD, action, integration)
• Authentication requirements (public, user, API key)
• Permission requirements per endpoint
• Request/response format expectations
