Advocate applications in the API

Feature

Week of November 13, 2026

Advocate applications can now be pulled into your own systems through the Stoked API.

GET /api/v1/applications returns every application submitted through your community site, with its status and when it was approved or rejected, the applicant’s name, email, phone and address, their testimonial, and their answers keyed by question identifier. Approved applications link to the advocate record they became.
Photos included. Each application carries its profile photo and any other uploads as download links with a checksum, so a sync can skip photos it already has.
Definitions in every response. meta.application_questions lists your application questions and meta.rejection_reasons your rejection reasons, so you can label answers and rejections without a second request.
Its own permission. Tick Applications on a key under Settings > API Keys. It’s off on every existing key.

We’ve also changed how API renames work. A renamed attribute, filter or relationship now keeps its old name for at least four weeks, and What’s New announces the rename when it ships, so a sync that reads the old name keeps working while you update it.
