Quick Start
Get up and running with the Flow Myna API in under 5 minutes. This guide will walk you through creating an API key and sending your first event.
Step 1: Create an API Key
- Navigate to API Keys — Go to
Workspace → Data → API Keysin your Flow Myna dashboard (under the Integrations section) - Click "Create API Key"
- Enter a name — Something descriptive like "Production ETL" or "Zapier Integration"
- Choose dataset — Create a new dataset (auto-named) or select an existing one
- Save the key immediately — The full key is only shown once!
Important: Copy and store your API key securely. For security reasons, we only show the full key once at creation time.
Step 2: Send Your First Event
With your API key ready, send your first event using cURL or your preferred HTTP client:
Your First Event
curl -X POST 'https://api.flowmyna.com/api/public/v1/event' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer fm_live_your_key_here' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"event": "Order Placed",
"objects": [
{"type": "Order", "id": "ORD-123"}
]
}'That's it! The event is now in Flow Myna and will appear in your dataset.
Step 3: Verify Your Data
To confirm your event was received:
- 1. Go to your Flow Myna dashboard
- 2. Navigate to the dataset linked to your API key
- 3. Check for the new event type and object
Events typically appear within a few seconds. If you don't see your data, check the Error Handling guide.
Using Our SDKs
For a better development experience, use one of our official SDKs:
Install SDK
pip install flowmynaThen record events with just a few lines of code:
Record Event with SDK
from flowmyna import FlowMyna
client = FlowMyna(api_key="fm_live_your_key_here")
client.record_event(
event="Order Placed",
objects=[
{"type": "Order", "id": "ORD-123"},
{"type": "Customer", "id": "CUST-456"}
],
properties={"total": 149.99}
