Stored Data API
The Stored Data API is used to work with the data stored in the system. Queries to this API allow to get information about:
- Operators
- Chats
- Categories
- Tariffs
- Departments
- Statistics
Also Stored Data API provides an opportunity to order services.
Base URL
The base URL is the domain of your account, and it depends on your network configuration. It looks like:
https://{hostname}/api/v{api_version}/{path}
Where {hostname}
is the host name where the Rox.Chat Server is located, in the format {account}.rox.chat
for cloud clients and chat.mycompany.com
for hosted clients. {path}
represents the API command.
You send requests to the base URL to access the Rox.Chat Stored Data API.
Example of a ready request to Rox.Chat Stored Data API:
https://company.rox.chat/api/v4/operators
This request should return a list of all agents.
To access the Rox.Chat Stored Data API, you need to authenticate.
Authorization, API Access
To gain access to the Rox.Chat Stored Data API, you need to contact the technical support of the Rox.Chat service. Access uses the administrator's email and password (admin_password
). Basic authorization is done as follows:
curl -u adm@domain.com:password {base_url}/api/v{api_version}/{request}
Where base_url
is the base URL for your network configuration, and request
is your API query.
Thus, after curl -u
, you have the user's email, followed by a colon, their password, and then the request URL.
The API operates exclusively over the HTTPS protocol. All data returns in the UTF-8
encoding. The time format is ISO 8601
with UTC
as the time zone. The format for time intervals is in seconds.
Error Handling
If an incorrect password is entered or the user doesn't exist, the HTTP code 401
is returned.
If the agent isn't an administrator or too many authorization attempts have been made, the HTTP code 403
is returned. Other errors come in the following JSON
format (with HTTP code 200
unless otherwise specified):
{"error":"error-code"}
