Frequently asked questions
GlossGenius scores D on the API Report Card. No public API. GlossGenius runs a walled garden with no developer program, no Zapier, and no webhooks; its GitHub org holds only forks. The only escape hatch is manual CSV export of clients, appointments, and inventory from the Insights screen.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.

GlossGenius does not offer a public API and does not work with Zapier, so operators cannot programmatically push appointments, clients, or sales into accounting, CRM, or analytics tools of their choice. Third-party migration tools (e.g. Jane App) build dedicated 'Importing from GlossGenius' flows specifically because there is no API, migration relies on user-exported CSVs.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial GlossGenius API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write GlossGenius data. See the GlossGenius integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/glossgenius-api.
