API Overview

A comprehensive introduction to the MyFolioHub REST API for developers and power users.

The MyFolioHub API is a powerful RESTful interface that allows you to interact with your portfolio data programmatically. Whether you're looking to build a custom dashboard, synchronize your projects with external platforms, or automate your content updates, our API provides the flexibility and performance you need to extend the MyFolioHub ecosystem.

Core Principles

Our API is designed around standard REST principles, ensuring a predictable and easy-to-use experience for developers:

  • Predictable URLs: We use resource-oriented URLs that follow a logical hierarchy.
  • Standard HTTP Methods: We use GET for retrieval, POST for creation, PUT for updates, and DELETE for removal.
  • JSON Responses: All API responses are returned in standard JSON format, including detailed error messages.
  • Statelessness: Each request is independent and contains all the information necessary for processing.

Base URL and Versioning

All API requests should be made to our production endpoint: https://api.myfoliohub.com/v1

We use versioning in the URL to ensure that future updates don't break your existing integrations. When we release major changes, we'll increment the version number (e.g., /v2) and provide a clear migration path.

Rate Limiting

To ensure the stability and performance of our platform for all users, we implement rate limiting on all API endpoints. By default, each API key is limited to 1,000 requests per hour. If you exceed this limit, the API will return a 429 Too Many Requests status code. You can track your current usage by checking the X-RateLimit-Remaining header in every response.

  • Project Sync: Automatically update your portfolio whenever you push a new project to GitHub or Behance.
  • Headless Portfolio: Use MyFolioHub as a CMS and build your own custom frontend using Next.js or Remix.
  • Automated Backups: Schedule a script to download all your portfolio data and assets for local archiving.
