Getting Started

Everything you need to integrate with the LendWorks platform.

Welcome to the LendWorks developer documentation. This guide covers the Broker API for programmatic access to your lending brokerage data and the Lender Portal for lender partner management.

Base URL

All API requests use the following base URL:

https://api.lend.works/v1

Quick Start

Install the SDK and make your first API call in under a minute:

npm install @lendworks/sdk-node

import { LendWorksClient } from '@lendworks/sdk-node'

const client = new LendWorksClient({
  apiKey: process.env.LENDWORKS_API_KEY,
})

const leads = await client.leads.list({ limit: 10 })
console.log(leads.data)

Response Format

All successful responses use a consistent envelope:

{
  "data": {
    "id": "d290f1ee-6c54-4b01-90e6-d701748f0851",
    "type": "lead",
    "attributes": {
      "businessName": "Acme Corp",
      "contactFirstName": "Jane",
      "contactLastName": "Doe",
      "email": "jane@acme.com"
    }
  },
  "meta": {
    "requestId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
  }
}

Collection responses include pagination metadata:

{
  "data": [ ... ],
  "meta": {
    "total": 142,
    "page": 1,
    "limit": 20,
    "hasMore": true,
    "requestId": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
  }
}

API Versioning

The API uses date-based versioning (similar to Stripe). The current version is 2025-01-15. The version is returned in the LW-API-Version response header on every request.
