Use Mintlify to trigger production or branch-preview deployments, poll deployment status, run scheduled automations, and manage background documentation-agent jobs. Search and retrieve pages, ask the docs assistant, detect AI-sounding passages, or export feedback, conversations, caller statistics, searches, page views, and visitor analytics.
Authentication
The API Key field takes the key required by the selected operation:
- Admin API key (
mint_): Trigger Update, Get Update Status, Trigger Preview Deployment, Trigger Automation, Create/Get Agent Job, Send Agent Message, Detect AI-Sounding Prose, and analytics exports. - Assistant API key (
mint_dsc_): Search Documentation, Get Page Content, and Ask Assistant.
Generate keys on Mintlify's API keys page. Admin operations use Project ID from that page. Assistant operations use Domain, the identifier in app.mintlify.com/organization/domain. API availability depends on your Mintlify plan; check your account's API access before scheduling a workflow.
