A presentation at SailPoint Developer Days 2026 by Samantha Holstine
SailPoint’s APIs provide access to the full range of features the platform offers, but knowing where to begin can be challenging. Without a solid foundation, the documentation can seem overwhelming, authentication errors are difficult to troubleshoot, and even creating a simple integration may feel unattainable. This session breaks down REST APIs from first principles: how SailPoint’s APIs are structured, how authentication and authorization work, and how to read the OpenAPI documentation at developer.sailpoint.com. Using live demos in Postman against a real ISC tenant, attendees will make their first API call and walk away with the vocabulary, mental model, and concrete next steps to start building on SailPoint with confidence.
