How to Set Up Automated API Syncing

Create unique API keys that will allow your systems to communicate securely with CNFANS. These credentials authenticate all data transfers between platforms.

Step 4: Integrate with Your Platform
Use the comprehensive CNFANS API documentation to connect your e-commerce platform, warehouse management system, or custom application.
// Example API call structure
