Quickstart

Create a key, make a test request, and generate your first quote draft.

1

1. Create an API key

Open API Keys in the developer portal, name the key for its environment, and copy the secret immediately. The full secret is shown only when it is created.

  • Use a test key while developing.
  • Store the secret in a server-side environment variable.
  • Never put the key in browser code, mobile bundles, or source control.

2. Check your connection

The public configuration endpoint is useful for confirming the API is reachable and does not require authentication.

bash
curl https://api.fortifiers.app/api/v1/config

3. Generate a quote draft

Submit the customer request as text. Add an industry when it helps disambiguate materials, labor, or terminology.

bash
curl -X POST https://api.fortifiers.app/api/v1/quotes/generate \
+  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
    "text": "Replace 12 damaged deck boards and stain the repaired area",
    "industry": "residential construction"
  }'

4. Handle the response

A successful request returns the quote ID, quote number, total, PDF URL, and normalized line items.

json
{
  "quote_id": 1842,
  "quote_number": "Q-2026-1842",
  "total": 1875.00,
  "pdf_url": "https://app.fortifiers.app/quotes/1842/pdf",
  "line_items": []
}
Example values are illustrative; IDs, totals, and URLs come from your workspace.
