Developer Platform Overview

Build integrations, marketplace apps, and automation tools on the LendWorks developer platform.

What You Can Build

The LendWorks Developer Platform lets you extend and integrate with the LendWorks ecosystem. Whether you're building an internal tool or a marketplace app for thousands of brokerages, the platform provides the APIs, SDKs, and infrastructure you need.

Integrations

Connect LendWorks to your existing tools — CRMs, accounting software, marketing platforms, and more. Pull leads, sync funded deals, and automate workflows across systems.

Marketplace Apps

Build apps that any LendWorks brokerage can install from the marketplace. Your app gets its own OAuth credentials, scoped data access, and a per-org data store.

Automation Tools

Trigger actions based on real-time webhook events. React to new leads, pipeline changes, funded deals, and more with custom business logic.

Key Concepts

Concept	Description
Apps	Registered developer applications with OAuth credentials and defined scopes
Installations	An app installed on a specific organization, granting scoped access
Scopes	Granular permissions that control what data an app can read or write
Webhooks	Real-time HTTP notifications delivered to your app when events occur
Data Store	Per-app, per-org key-value storage for configuration and state
Sandbox	Isolated test environment with sample data for development

Platform Architecture

Developer App
     │
     ├── OAuth 2.0 + PKCE ──→ Authorization
     │
     ├── REST API ──→ Leads, Applications, Lenders, Deals, ...
     │
     ├── Webhook Subscriptions ──→ Real-time events
     │
     └── App Data Store ──→ Per-org configuration

Apps authenticate via OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. Once a brokerage installs your app and grants consent, you receive scoped access tokens to interact with their data through the same REST API used by the Broker API — with access limited to the scopes the user approved.
