Bonsai OAuth Integration

Connect Bonsai to your application and send authenticated API requests through Pathfix.

Bonsai is business management software for freelancers and agencies. In Pathfix, Bonsai uses client key based authorization rather than an OAuth app. Users connect their Bonsai account through Pathfix, and your application sends Bonsai API requests through the Pathfix passthrough API.

How Pathfix helps

01
User connections
Users connect their Bonsai account to your app through the Pathfix Connect button.
02
Test before you ship
Use Test Connection in Pathfix to connect an account in the API Playground and run sample Bonsai calls.
03
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Bonsai API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Bonsai.

You own the Bonsai account and credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
