API Access Request Form

Need API access to integrate with your SaaS platform? This API Access Request Form makes it simple to provision credentials, set rate limits, and configure endpoint permissions—all without waiting on back-and-forth emails.

Built for software companies, SaaS platforms, and IT teams managing developer access, this template streamlines the entire API onboarding process. Developers and integration partners can specify their use case, select the endpoints they need, choose appropriate rate limits, and request authentication credentials in a single, secure submission.

The form captures essential technical details like environment type (sandbox vs. production), expected API call volume, and specific endpoint permissions. This helps your IT and security teams provision access correctly the first time, reducing support tickets and accelerating time-to-integration.

Paperform's conditional logic ensures users only see relevant fields based on their selections—for example, production access requests can trigger additional security questions or approval workflows. Built-in calculations can help determine appropriate rate limit tiers based on usage estimates.

Once submitted, you can use Stepper to automate the credential generation workflow: trigger API key creation, send welcome emails with documentation links, update your CRM or developer portal, and notify the security team for production access requests. This turns manual provisioning tasks into an automated, auditable process.

Perfect for developers, product managers, IT administrators, and integration partners who need a professional, secure way to request and manage API access. Whether you're running a public API program or managing internal microservices, this template helps you maintain security while enabling rapid developer onboarding.
