Dribbble API

The API.SH Dribbble API turns public Dribbble pages into structured JSON. Search shots by keywords, timeframe or color, open any shot for its likes, views, saves, tags, color palette and every image or video, and read a designer's or team's profile with followers, Pro badge, availability for work and, on request, skills, specialties and work history. Page through any designer's shots, newest first.

API.SH vs the official Dribbble API

Dribbble's official API (v2) is built for members to publish and manage their own work: it uses OAuth and mostly returns the signed-in user's own shots and projects, with no public search. API.SH reads public shots and any designer's profile and portfolio, with no OAuth app or Dribbble account.

Rather than registering a Dribbble OAuth app that only sees one user, or running your own scraper or an Apify actor, API.SH gives you search, shots and profiles with one key and a fixed price per call.

Dribbble API questions

What Dribbble data can I get?+

Shot search by keyword, timeframe or color (/dribbble/v1/search), one shot with stats, tags, palette, media and optional comments or similar shots (/dribbble/v1/shot), a designer or team profile (/dribbble/v1/profile) and their shots page by page (/dribbble/v1/profile/shots).

How much does the Dribbble API cost?+

Every Dribbble endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free Dribbble API?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /dribbble/v1/profile at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Dribbble API?+

Yes, Dribbble API v2. It needs an OAuth app and is focused on the authenticated member's own shots and projects. It has no public shot search, which is what API.SH adds.

Do I need a Dribbble account or API key?+

No Dribbble account, login or Dribbble API key is needed. API.SH reads public Dribbble pages only; you use your API.SH key.

Can I get any designer's shots, not just my own?+

Yes. Pass a username or profile URL to /dribbble/v1/profile/shots and pass next_page back as page to go through the whole portfolio.

Can I search Dribbble shots by color?+

Yes. /dribbble/v1/search takes a color and a timeframe as well as keywords, and sort=recent lists New and Noteworthy shots instead of popular ones.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /dribbble/v1/search with q set to a topic such as dashboard. Every parameter is in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
