Overview

Dribbble lets you read public design shots, user profiles, and project listings via OAuth. Beginners interested in design portfolio apps can use it to pull real creative work.

Beginner Tip

You must create a Dribbble app and complete the OAuth flow before any API call. There is no simpler key-based access option.

Available Data

The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.

Example Response

Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

Request

const url = "https://api.dribbble.com/v2/user";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

401 Unauthorized Access token missing or expired

✓ Re-run the OAuth flow to get a fresh token; Dribbble tokens do not auto-refresh

403 Forbidden on write endpoints Registered app does not have write/upload scope approved

✓ Request upload permission from Dribbble directly; it requires manual approval

429 Rate Limit Exceeded Exceeded 60 requests per minute

✓ Implement exponential backoff and cache shot data to reduce repeated calls

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
