Launchpit
Developer API

Submit to Launchpit via API

Directory submission tools can send projects directly to Launchpit using our REST API. Every submission still goes through our review queue — nothing goes live without approval.

How it works

1
Get an API key
Email us at info@launchpit.app with your tool's name. We'll send you a key within 24 hours.
2
POST to our endpoint
Send a JSON payload to the endpoint below. Include your key in the Authorization header.
3
Submission enters review
The project lands in our admin queue with your tool listed as the source. We review and approve manually.
4
Submitter gets notified
If a submitter email is included, they'll receive a confirmation and an approval email when their project goes live.
