Tip

If you are not ready for an API integration you can simply use our Web application to create studies to recruit participants and redirect them to your platform by providing a Study URL.

Not supported: The Prolific API does not support account management such as topping up your account or user management. Such features are only available in our web application. New or advanced features available in the web application may also not be available. If there are any capabilities you need that are not documented, please contact our support team.
