API Reference

Build directly on the Silica API.

A single REST API sits underneath Logistics, Telematics, Storefronts, and POS, so you integrate once and get every product.

Authentication

One key, scoped to your workspace.

Every request is authenticated with a bearer token generated from your dashboard. Test keys are prefixed sk_test_ and live keys sk_live_, so it's obvious which environment you're calling.

Keys can be scoped read-only, or restricted to a single product, location, or webhook endpoint.

curl https://api.silica.co/v1/orders \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_••••••••" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

  "data": [
    {
      "id": "ord_8f2c1a",
      "status": "in_transit",
      "eta": "2026-08-01T18:40:00Z",
      "vehicle_id": "veh_44b0"
    }
  ],
  "has_more": false
}

Rate limits

Generous limits, clear headroom.

Standard keys are limited to 300 requests per minute per endpoint. Every response includes rate limit headers so you can back off before hitting a ceiling, and limits scale automatically with your plan.
