A Better Way to Build with New Alteryx One APIs

APIs Are Changing How the World Works 

 

APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are software connections that let different services and tools talk to one another. They power everything from large-scale enterprise automation to mobile app integrations. Across industries, APIs are helping organizations scale faster, build smarter, and deliver better customer experiences. 

 

With the recent launch of Alteryx One, we’re bringing together the most powerful capabilities of Alteryx, analytics automation, code-free data prep, AI assistance, and enterprise governance, into a single, unified platform experience. It’s designed to meet users where they are today, whether in the cloud, on-prem, or hybrid, while guiding organizations toward a more connected, scalable, and governed future. 

 

As part of that evolution, we’re making it easier to build in cloud-native environments. The new cloud API experience reflects our commitment to deep connectivity, flexible deployment, and seamless integration, all core principles of the Alteryx One platform. 

 

Explore the New API Experience 

 

We’ve reimagined how customers can interact with Alteryx APIs, with a priority on prioritizing developer experience and ease of use for first-time API users. 

 

Here’s what’s new: 

 

  • Public API Specs: You can now browse Alteryx API specs without needing to log in. This is helpful if you’re exploring Alteryx offerings, as well as for our existing users who are new to the APIs. In these new API Specs, you can even make an API call in-browser. Check out this link to see what APIs we have available.

  • A Dedicated Developer Console for Managing API Projects: API projects can now be managed in the Alteryx IO Developer Console within the Library section platform. This makes all API Projects accessible by workspace admins and live beyond the users who create them.

  • Stronger Security and Governance: We’ve enhanced the security and governance framework around our APIs. Admins have greater control, endpoints go through more extensive testing, and all APIs are built to be backward compatible. That means more stability for your API calls, even as we continue to evolve our platform. 
  • Clearer, More Consistent API Design: Our APIs now follow REST standards more closely, with more consistent schemas and naming conventions.  
  • Improved Documentation and Onboarding: Getting started with Alteryx APIs is easier than ever. Our Alteryx IO site includes how-to docs, authentication guides, and example code in a GitHub repo. Whether you’re brand new to APIs or an expert at building complex automations, the resources you need are now just a click away.

This launch is about more than just technical upgrades. It’s about giving you more flexibility to build and automate with Alteryx One on your terms. Whether you’re an IT admin setting up company-wide access, a developer streamlining operations, or a partner embedding analytics into your own solution, this new API experience is built to support your work. 

 

APIs are a critical part of modern software. With this release, we’re making sure the Alteryx One platform keeps pace with the way our users want to build, scale, and innovate.
