title: ServiceM8 REST API
description: >-
ServiceM8 is field service and job management software for trade and
home-service businesses. The REST API is plain JSON over HTTP and closely
follows REST principles: every resource (Job, Company, JobActivity,
Attachment, and so on) has its own URL and is manipulated in isolation using
GET, POST, and DELETE. The base URL is https://api.servicem8.com/api_1.0 and
each object type is exposed as a `.json` collection - for example
GET /company.json lists companies and GET /company/{uuid}.json retrieves one.
Creating a record is a POST to the collection; updating a record is a POST to
the record URL; deleting is a DELETE to the record URL.
Private integrations authenticate with an API key sent in the `X-API-Key`
header. Public add-ons authenticate with OAuth 2.0 (authorize at
https://go.servicem8.com/oauth/authorize, exchange the code at
https://go.servicem8.com/oauth/access_token) and send a Bearer access token.
Naming note: the ServiceM8 user interface term "Client" or "Customer" maps to
the "Company" object in the API. Only a subset of ServiceM8 functionality is
modeled here; ServiceM8 documents 60+ objects. Object endpoint filenames other
than company.json, jobcontact.json, and companycontact.json (which are
confirmed in ServiceM8's own documentation) are modeled from ServiceM8's
documented resource index and its consistent lowercase object naming
convention.
