Is there a developer portal or documentation I can refer to for more information on integrating Behance content into our website using the API?

To obtain an API key or access to Behance's API, you need to register your app on the Behance Dev website. You will need to fill out the application name, website, and description. The redirect URI (for OAuth) field is optional, unless you are going to create an app that will require user authentication. Once you register your app, you will receive a unique API key/Client ID that you can use to access the Behance API.

 

The Behance API provides various endpoints to get access to the content on Behance. You can use the API to retrieve projects, users, collections, comments, statistics, and more. The API uses a RESTful architecture and returns data in JSON format. You can use any programming language or tool that can make HTTP requests and parse JSON responses to interact with the API.

 

To integrate Behance posts into your website using the API, you will need to follow these steps:

 

• Choose the endpoint that suits your needs. For example, if you want to display projects from a specific user, you can use the /users/{user}/projects endpointhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/63322822/behance-api-not-let-me-create-api-key.

• Construct the request URL with the required parameters. For example, if you want to display projects from the user "creativemints", you can use this URL: https://api.behance.net/v2/users/creativemints/projects?client_id= {YOUR_API_KEY}

• Replace {YOUR_API_KEY} with your actual API key/Client ID that you obtained from Behance Dev.

• Make the HTTP GET request to the URL and handle the response. The response will contain a JSON object with various fields and values. For example, if you want to display the cover image and the title of each project, you can access them from the covers and name fields of each project object in the response.

• Display the data on your website using your preferred web design and development tools. You can use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or any other framework or library that can render web pages.

 

I hope this answer helps you understand how to obtain an API key or access to Behance's API and how to integrate Behance posts into your website using the API.
