Integrate customer portal into your application

Use the create_portal endpoint to generate Customer Portals programmatically.

---

Grab a ready-made snippet from Console

1. Go to Developer → Customer Portals.

2. Configure the portal (features, embedded, landing page) and enter your customer_key (and Spaces, if using Organize).

3. In Generate Portal → Create Portal Programmatically, open the code panel.

   
4. Copy the prefilled request (cURL). Replace placeholders like the Seam API key.

   curl -X POST \
     https://connect.getseam.com/customers/create_portal> \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEAM_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
     "is_embedded": false,
     "features": {
       "connect": { "exclude": false },
       "organize": { "exclude": false },
       "manage_devices": { "exclude": false }
     },
     "customer_data": {
       "customer_key": "sample_customer_key",
       "property_listings": [
       {
         "name": "Property 1",
         "property_listing_key": "property_1_id"
       }
     ]
     }
   }'

5. Send the request from your app or API client.

Notes

• Customize features: All features are enabled by default; set "exclude": true to turn any off.

• Embedded or standalone: Set "is_embedded": true to embed in an iframe; otherwise it’s standalone.

• Scope by customer: customer_key ties the portal to a single customer in your system.

• Use your own IDs: Use space_key values that match your internal identifiers.

• Session lifetime: All portal links expire after 7 days. Generate a new portal programmatically each time a customer needs access.
