Try the Nylas APIs!
In this step, you'll make some API requests and see the data that Nylas returns!
⚠️ Remember! The Nylas APIs actually send email messages and can modify your calendar. If you're using a personal account, keep this in mind when testing so you don't accidentally send an asdf testing event invitation to your whole family.
Make a sample API request
The Sandbox includes a section that provides basic read-only cURL commands that you can use to test Nylas.
Go back to the Overview page in your Sandbox application and scroll down to Make your first API call.
The demo requests for the Email, Calendar, and Contacts APIs use the limit=5 query parameter to return a maximum of five objects from the account. You can edit this limit or add other parameters when you copy and paste the command into your terminal.
The cURL requests auto-populate NYLAS_API_KEY and NYLAS_GRANT_ID with the values you created in the previous steps.
Try making different API requests to see email or calendar data for your account!
What's next?
You're now ready to make API requests and start developing!
If you want more API examples, try the longer API walkthrough. There are also lots of other developer tools, such as Postman, the Nylas CLI, and the four Nylas SDKs for Node.js, Ruby, Python, and Java, and a wealth of example applications.
✨ Check out the Nylas Quickstart guides! They'll give you a quick tour of Nylas by setting up a simple application and using the Nylas SDKs for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, or Kotlin.
