This page is for developers. It covers API setup and code examples. If you’re looking for how to use Kakiyo from the dashboard (no code), see the Dashboard Guides instead.
This guide will help you quickly get started with the Kakiyo API to automate your LinkedIn outreach campaigns.

​
Overview

Kakiyo’s API allows you to:
  1. Create and manage outreach campaigns
  2. Add and manage prospects
  3. Create and use AI-powered message templates
  4. Manage AI agents that handle the conversations
  5. Track performance and results

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, you’ll need:
  • A Kakiyo account (sign up here)
  • An API key (generated from your dashboard)
  • Basic understanding of RESTful APIs and HTTP requests

​
Authentication

All API requests must include your API key in the Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer API_KEY
Your API key is a 40-character string.
Keep your API key secure! Do not share it publicly or include it in client-side code.

​
Basic Example

Here’s a simple example of how to use the Kakiyo API to create a campaign: 
const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.kakiyo.com/v1';

// Create a new campaign
async function createCampaign() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.post(
      `${BASE_URL}/campaigns`,
      {
        name: 'My First Campaign',
        productId: 'product123',
        promptId: 'prompt456',
        agentId: 'agent789',
        qualificationAutomatic: 70,
        qualificationVerification: 50,
        variables: {
          companyValue: "Our unique AI solution",
          painPoint: "time-consuming manual outreach"
        }
      },
      {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      }
    );

    console.log('Campaign created:', response.data);
    return response.data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating campaign:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Call the function
createCampaign();

​
