Resources API

Manage your directory

For organization staff: add, update, and remove entries in your own community-resource directory. This requires a team key with the directory management scope — developer keys don't have access here.

Who this is for. Organization managers and admins who want to sync their directory from a spreadsheet, CRM, or another system. If you just want to propose one new resource, use Resources — submit instead.
