Built around projects and budgets, not generic finance tables.

Saturation is the platform film, TV, and commercial production teams use to manage every dollar from prep to wrap. The API gives you programmatic access to that data. Pull projects, read full budgets, and write lines back without rebuilding your own data model.

Bring budgets and projects into your own tools

Pull project lists, read budgets, and surface live production finance data inside internal dashboards, client portals, or workflow tools your team already uses.

Write budget lines and manage accounts programmatically

Create and update budget lines via the API: add estimates, set account codes, and keep your Saturation budget in sync with systems outside the platform.

Build on a structure that mirrors how productions work

The API is organized around projects and budgets, the same objects your production team works in every day, so integration maps directly to real workflows.

Power custom reporting for film, TV, and commercial productions

Pull live budget data into your own reporting pipelines. Whether you're building dashboards for a commercial production company, a TV studio, or a feature film, the API surfaces the same project and budget objects your team relies on.

Automate budget updates from any production management tool

Connect Saturation to scheduling software, production management platforms, or custom internal tools. Write budget lines via API as costs are locked, keeping finance data in sync without manual re-entry.

Enterprise-ready authentication with stable versioned endpoints

Every request is authenticated with a workspace-bound bearer token. The versioned /v1 base path keeps your integrations stable as the platform evolves, whether you're running a single production or managing a studio slate.

The same API, no code required

Everything the REST API exposes also powers ready-made connections: add Saturation from the Claude and ChatGPT directories, or wire it into thousands of apps with Zapier.

What engineers build with the Saturation API.

The Saturation API is built around the real objects of production finance: projects, budgets, transactions, purchase orders, and documents. Unlike generic finance APIs that hand your team ledger abstractions to decode, Saturation's data model maps directly to how productions run, so you can ship spend tracking, budget reporting, or custom dashboards in minutes, not weeks.

Budget

const { data } = await api(

'/projects/prj_4xk2m/budget/lines',

)

// budget lines down to the account

GET/projects/{projectId}/budget/lines

Access Budget Lines

Read full line-item breakdowns for any project budget, or write new lines back through the same path.
