The Maple Developer API connects your POS or platform to approved Maple locations. Receive and decide orders, publish menus, or manage reservations using the scopes and location capabilities approved for your integration. There is no SDK to install. For order integrations, Maple owns customer payment processing and supplies orders with calculated totals. Use the developer console to manage your keys, webhooks, and diagnostics.

Quickstart

Sign in, create your own key, and find your first API request and signed test delivery.

How Maple works

The mental model: apps, locations, connections, and who owns what.

​
Start with the job you’re doing

Receive and decide orders

Get order.notification webhooks and drive each order with accept, deny, ready, and complete calls.

Publish a menu

Send a location’s full menu as one JSON document keyed by your own stable IDs, and read it back.

Handle webhooks

Verify HMAC signatures, dedupe deliveries, and replay from the event ledger.

Browse every endpoint

Request and response schemas for auth, locations, connections, menu, orders, and webhooks.

​
What you never have to build

Restaurant integrations are usually painful because you inherit problems that aren’t yours. With Maple, you don’t:
  • No payment integration. Maple creates and owns the payment link. You never touch a card or carry PCI scope.
  • No pricing engine. Maple computes every customer-facing total. You read integer cents.
  • No polling. Orders are pushed to your webhook; a ledger and replay endpoints cover recovery.
  • No SDK required. It’s a REST API you can call from any language.
  • No guessing in production. You build against isolated test data first; live access is enabled once your integration is approved.

​
The shape of the API

Every authenticated request carries a Bearer credential. Develop against the prepared sandbox, then obtain separate production approval and configure the production app, grants, key, and endpoints. See Environments:
  • Two environments: the sandbox at https://api.staging.maple.inc/v1 for development, and production at https://api.maple.inc/v1. They’re fully isolated. See Environments.
  • API key auth: send your key (mpk_test_… / mpk_live_…) as a Bearer token. See Authentication.
  • Scoped access: your app holds only the permissions it needs (orders:read, menus:write, webhooks:write, and so on).
  • Predictable resources: opaque IDs, money as integer USD cents, Stripe-style event envelopes, and consistent error bodies.
Access is invited-partner first. Maple approves your app and prepares its sandbox and location grants; your organization members then sign in to Developers to create keys, manage webhooks, and inspect request/delivery diagnostics. Contact us for an invitation, then follow the Quickstart. Creating a key does not grant location access or activate production.
