Leafly API Documentation

At Leafly, our goal is to make the API so simple, even a stoner like yourself can use it! All data is sent as JSON and there are only a couple important methods you need to know about.

1) List Strains

Use this to get an overview of all strains we have available on the site. Certain filters can be applied to limit what is returned to you.
