API Reference

The FeedbackAPI REST API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors. We use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which are understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients.

We support cross-origin resource sharing, allowing you to interact securely with our API from a client-side web application (though you should never expose your secret API key in any public website's client-side code). JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors.

All endpoint URLs begin with https://api.feedbackapi.com/v1.3/. Additionally, the REST API requires the use of a client which supports SNI.

Parameters must be serialized in JSON and passed in the request body (not in the query string or form parameters). This API is modeled after earlier versions of the JSON API specification.

It is recommended that you use the media type designation of application/vnd.api+json, although we will accept a media type designation of application/json.

https://api.feedbackapi.com/v1.3/

Authentication

You can authenticate your requests by including your API Token in the request. You can generate and manage your API tokens on the Integrations tab in Settings when you sign into your account. Your API tokens allow access to your account data so be sure to keep them secret! Do not share your API tokens in publicly accessible areas such GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your API key as the basic auth username value. You do not need to provide a password.

$ curl https://api.feedbackapi.com/v1.3/subscriber/ \
-u example_api_token_12334:

curl uses the -u flag to pass basic auth credentials (adding a colon after your API key prevents cURL from asking for a password).

Pagination

All top-level API resources have support for bulk fetches via "list" API methods. For instance you can list subsribers, list reviews, and list accounts. These list API methods share a common structure, taking at least these three parameters: limit,sort_by and page.

Arguments
  • limit optional, default is 10

    Limit on the number of objects to be returned, between 1 and 100.

  • page optional, default is 0

    The starting page to return results from beginning at 0. The maximum page will be calculated by the total number of results divided by the limit.

  • sort_by optional, default is reverse chronological

    The field to sort objects by. Indicate direction by appending either '-asc' or '-desc'. e.g. to sort by the oldest objects first, you would use 'created-asc'.

List Response Format
  • data array

    An array containing the actual response elements, paginated by any request parameters.

  • page integer

    The current page number.

  • total_count integer

    The total number of records available.

  • total_returned integer

    The total number of records returned in this query.

Errors

We use conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of a request.

In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, a subscriber could not be added etc), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with our servers.

Attributes
  • type

    The type of error returned. Can be: api_connection_error, api_error, authentication_error, invalid_request_error, or rate_limit_error.

  • message optional

    A human-readable message providing more details about the error.

  • param optional

    The parameter the error relates to if the error is parameter-specific. You can use this to display a message near the correct form field, for example.

Authentication
200 - OK Everything worked well as expected.
400 - Bad Request The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter.
401 - Unauthorized No valid API key provided.
402 - Request Failed The parameters were valid but the request failed.
404 - Not Found The requested resource doesn't exist.
429 - Too Many Requests Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests.
500, 502, 503, 504 - Server Errors Something went wrong on our end.
Errors
Types
api_connection_error Failure to connect to the API.
api_error API errors cover any other type of problem (e.g, a temporary problem with our servers and are extremely uncommon.
authentication_error Failure to properly authenticate yourself in the request. Check your API token is being sent as an authentication header.
invalid_request_error Invalid request errors arise when your request has invalid parameters.
rate_limit_error Too many requests hit the API too quickly.

Customers

Create Customer

To create a new customer you create a customer object. Customers are uniquely identified by their email address or mobile number.

If you attempt to create a customer where another exists with the same email address or mobile number, the creation will be treated as an update to the existing record. This means campaigns will not be re-triggered if they have already been completed for that customer.

  • mobile_number optional *, default is null

  • fname optional, default is null

    The customer’s first name.

  • sname optional, default is null

    The customer’s last / family name.

  • location required

Delete a Customer
