The Fastweigh REST & GraphQL API services use token-based authentication with a custom x-api-key HTTP header record. The token should be included with every call.
Basic Authentication has been deprecated.
We have transitioned from using Basic Authentication with username/password credentials to token-based authentication. Existing integrations will continue to work, but please note that Basic Authentication has been deprecated.
Endpoint: https://graphql.fast-weigh.com
Authentication: [ API Key ] via [ bearer token ]
As of October 2025, the GraphQL API is now unified under one endpoint URL
We are moving towards supporting this version of the API for the future, so we highly recommend adopting this new, unified GraphQL API.
Hitting the GQL API
To hit the api you can use a generated API Key from the API Info page in the Portal as a Bearer Token
headers:
Authorization: "Bearer <api-key>"
Schema & Model Explorer:
To view the GraphQL Schema, simply head to the endpoint directly: https://graphql.fast-weigh.com. This will take you to a web page where you can explore all the available query and mutation models.

Don't see API Info on your web portal?
You may not be an Admin of your Fastweigh account. Check with a known admin to see if they can set up this key.
Your company's account may not have this enabled. If this is the case you will need to contact your sales or onboarding rep to get it enabled.
The REST API generally handles CREATE and UPDATE calls.
