# Overview ## Authentication LaunchDarkly's REST API uses the HTTPS protocol with a minimum TLS version of 1.2. All REST API resources are authenticated with either [personal or service access tokens](https://docs.launchdarkly.com/home/account/api), or session cookies. Other authentication mechanisms are not supported. You can manage personal access tokens on your [**Account settings**](https://app.launchdarkly.com/settings/tokens) page. LaunchDarkly also has SDK keys, mobile keys, and client-side IDs that are used by our server-side SDKs, mobile SDKs, and JavaScript-based SDKs, respectively. **These keys cannot be used to access our REST API**. These keys are environment-specific, and can only perform read-only operations such as fetching feature flag settings. | Auth mechanism | Allowed resources | Use cases | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | [Personal or service access tokens](https://docs.launchdarkly.com/home/account/api) | Can be customized on a per-token basis | Building scripts, custom integrations, data export. | | SDK keys | Can only access read-only resources specific to server-side SDKs. Restricted to a single environment. | Server-side SDKs | | Mobile keys | Can only access read-only resources specific to mobile SDKs, and only for flags marked available to mobile keys. Restricted to a single environment. | Mobile SDKs | | Client-side ID | Can only access read-only resources specific to JavaScript-based client-side SDKs, and only for flags marked available to client-side. Restricted to a single environment. | Client-side JavaScript | > #### Keep your access tokens and SDK keys private > > Access tokens should _never_ be exposed in untrusted contexts. Never put an access token in client-side JavaScript, or embed it in a mobile application. LaunchDarkly has special mobile keys that you can embed in mobile apps. If you accidentally expose an access token or SDK key, you can reset it from your [**Account settings**](https://app.launchdarkly.com/settings/tokens) page. > > The client-side ID is safe to embed in untrusted contexts. It's designed for use in client-side JavaScript. ### Authentication using request header The preferred way to authenticate with the API is by adding an `Authorization` header containing your access token to your requests. The value of the `Authorization` header must be your access token. Manage personal access tokens from the [**Account settings**](https://app.launchdarkly.com/settings/tokens) page. ### Authentication using session cookie For testing purposes, you can make API calls directly from your web browser. If you are logged in to the LaunchDarkly application, the API will use your existing session to authenticate calls. If you have a [role](https://docs.launchdarkly.com/home/account/built-in-roles) other than Admin, or have a [custom role](https://docs.launchdarkly.com/home/account/custom-roles) defined, you may not have permission to perform some API calls. You will receive a `401` response code in that case. > ### Modifying the Origin header causes an error > > LaunchDarkly validates that the Origin header for any API request authenticated by a session cookie matches the expected Origin header. The expected Origin header is `https://app.launchdarkly.com`. > > If the Origin header does not match what's expected, LaunchDarkly returns an error. This error can prevent the LaunchDarkly app from working correctly. > > Any browser extension that intentionally changes the Origin header can cause this problem. For example, the `Allow-Control-Allow-Origin: *` Chrome extension changes the Origin header to `http://evil.com` and causes the app to fail. > > To prevent this error, do not modify your Origin header. > > LaunchDarkly does not require origin matching when authenticating with an access token, so this issue does not affect normal API usage. ## Representations All resources expect and return JSON response bodies. Error responses also send a JSON body. To learn more about the error format of the API, read [Errors](/#section/Overview/Errors). In practice this means that you always get a response with a `Content-Type` header set to `application/json`. In addition, request bodies for `PATCH`, `POST`, and `PUT` requests must be encoded as JSON with a `Content-Type` header set to `application/json`. ### Summary and detailed representations When you fetch a list of resources, the response includes only the most important attributes of each resource. This is a _summary representation_ of the resource. When you fetch an individual resource, such as a single feature flag, you receive a _detailed representation_ of the resource. The best way to find a detailed representation is to follow links. Every summary representation includes a link to its detailed representation. ### Expanding responses Sometimes the detailed representation of a resource does not include all of the attributes of the resource by default. If this is the case, the request method will clearly document this and describe which attributes you can include in an expanded response. To include the additional attributes, append the `expand` request parameter to your request and add a comma-separated list of the attributes to include. For example, when you append `?expand=members,roles` to the [Get team](/tag/Teams#operation/getTeam) endpoint, the expanded response includes both of these attributes. ### Links and addressability The best way to navigate the API is by following links. These are attributes in representations that link to other resources. The API always uses the same format for links: - Links to other resources within the API are encapsulated in a `_links` object - If the resource has a corresponding link to HTML content on the site, it is stored in a special `_site` link Each link has two attributes: - An `href`, which contains the URL - A `type`, which describes the content type For example, a feature resource might return the following: ```json { "_links": { "parent": { "href": "/api/features", "type": "application/json" }, "self": { "href": "/api/features/sort.order", "type": "application/json" } }, "_site": { "href": "/features/sort.order", "type": "text/html" } } ``` From this, you can navigate to the parent collection of features by following the `parent` link, or navigate to the site page for the feature by following the `_site` link. Collections are always represented as a JSON object with an `items` attribute containing an array of representations. Like all other representations, collections have `_links` defined at the top level. Paginated collections include `first`, `last`, `next`, and `prev` links containing a URL with the respective set of elements in the collection. ## Updates Resources that accept partial updates use the `PATCH` verb. Most resources support the [JSON patch](/reference#updates-using-json-patch) format. Some resources also support the [JSON merge patch](/reference#updates-using-json-merge-patch) format, and some resources support the [semantic patch](/reference#updates-using-semantic-patch) format, which is a way to specify the modifications to perform as a set of executable instructions. Each resource supports optional [comments](/reference#updates-with-comments) that you can submit with updates. Comments appear in outgoing webhooks, the audit log, and other integrations. When a resource supports both JSON patch and semantic patch, we document both in the request method. However, the specific request body fields and descriptions included in our documentation only match one type of patch or the other. ### Updates using JSON patch [JSON patch](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6902) is a way to specify the modifications to perform on a resource. JSON patch uses paths and a limited set of operations to describe how to transform the current state of the resource into a new state. JSON patch documents are always arrays, where each element contains an operation, a path to the field to update, and the new value. For example, in this feature flag representation: ```json { "name": "New recommendations engine", "key": "engine.enable", "description": "This is the description", ... } ``` You can change the feature flag's description with the following patch document: ```json [{ "op": "replace", "path": "/description", "value": "This is the new description" }] ``` You can specify multiple modifications to perform in a single request. You can also test that certain preconditions are met before applying the patch: ```json [ { "op": "test", "path": "/version", "value": 10 }, { "op": "replace", "path": "/description", "value": "The new description" } ] ``` The above patch request tests whether the feature flag's `version` is `10`, and if so, changes the feature flag's description. Attributes that are not editable, such as a resource's `_links`, have names that start with an underscore. ### Updates using JSON merge patch [JSON merge patch](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7386) is another format for specifying the modifications to perform on a resource. JSON merge patch is less expressive than JSON patch. However, in many cases it is simpler to construct a merge patch document. For example, you can change a feature flag's description with the following merge patch document: ```json { "description": "New flag description" } ``` ### Updates using semantic patch Some resources support the semantic patch format. A semantic patch is a way to specify the modifications to perform on a resource as a set of executable instructions. Semantic patch allows you to be explicit about intent using precise, custom instructions. In many cases, you can define semantic patch instructions independently of the current state of the resource. This can be useful when defining a change that may be applied at a future date. To make a semantic patch request, you must append `domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch` to your `Content-Type` header. Here's how: ``` Content-Type: application/json; domain-model=launchdarkly.semanticpatch ``` If you call a semantic patch resource without this header, you will receive a `400` response because your semantic patch will be interpreted as a JSON patch. The body of a semantic patch request takes the following properties: * `comment` (string): (Optional) A description of the update. * `environmentKey` (string): (Required for some resources only) The environment key. * `instructions` (array): (Required) A list of actions the update should perform. Each action in the list must be an object with a `kind` property that indicates the instruction. If the instruction requires parameters, you must include those parameters as additional fields in the object. The documentation for each resource that supports semantic patch includes the available instructions and any additional parameters. For example: ```json { "comment": "optional comment", "instructions": [ {"kind": "turnFlagOn"} ] } ``` If any instruction in the patch encounters an error, the endpoint returns an error and will not change the resource. In general, each instruction silently does nothing if the resource is already in the state you request. ### Updates with comments You can submit optional comments with `PATCH` changes. To submit a comment along with a JSON patch document, use the following format: ```json { "comment": "This is a comment string", "patch": [{ "op": "replace", "path": "/description", "value": "The new description" }] } ``` To submit a comment along with a JSON merge patch document, use the following format: ```json { "comment": "This is a comment string", "merge": { "description": "New flag description" } } ``` To submit a comment along with a semantic patch, use the following format: ```json { "comment": "This is a comment string", "instructions": [ {"kind": "turnFlagOn"} ] } ``` ## Errors The API always returns errors in a common format. Here's an example: ```json { "code": "invalid_request", "message": "A feature with that key already exists", "id": "30ce6058-87da-11e4-b116-123b93f75cba" } ``` The `code` indicates the general class of error. The `message` is a human-readable explanation of what went wrong. The `id` is a unique identifier. Use it when you're working with LaunchDarkly Support to debug a problem with a specific API call. ### HTTP status error response codes | Code | Definition | Description | Possible Solution | | ---- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | 400 | Invalid request | The request cannot be understood. | Ensure JSON syntax in request body is correct. | | 401 | Invalid access token | Requestor is unauthorized or does not have permission for this API call. | Ensure your API access token is valid and has the appropriate permissions. | | 403 | Forbidden | Requestor does not have access to this resource. | Ensure that the account member or access token has proper permissions set. | | 404 | Invalid resource identifier | The requested resource is not valid. | Ensure that the resource is correctly identified by ID or key. | | 405 | Method not allowed | The request method is not allowed on this resource. | Ensure that the HTTP verb is correct. | | 409 | Conflict | The API request can not be completed because it conflicts with a concurrent API request. | Retry your request. | | 422 | Unprocessable entity | The API request can not be completed because the update description can not be understood. | Ensure that the request body is correct for the type of patch you are using, either JSON patch or semantic patch. | 429 | Too many requests | Read [Rate limiting](/#section/Overview/Rate-limiting). | Wait and try again later. | ## CORS The LaunchDarkly API supports Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for AJAX requests from any origin. If an `Origin` header is given in a request, it will be echoed as an explicitly allowed origin. Otherwise the request returns a wildcard, `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`. For more information on CORS, read the [CORS W3C Recommendation](http://www.w3.org/TR/cors). Example CORS headers might look like: ```http Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Accept, Content-Type, Content-Length, Accept-Encoding, Authorization Access-Control-Allow-Methods: OPTIONS, GET, DELETE, PATCH Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Access-Control-Max-Age: 300 ``` You can make authenticated CORS calls just as you would make same-origin calls, using either [token or session-based authentication](/#section/Overview/Authentication). If you are using session authentication, you should set the `withCredentials` property for your `xhr` request to `true`. You should never expose your access tokens to untrusted entities. ## Rate limiting We use several rate limiting strategies to ensure the availability of our APIs. Rate-limited calls to our APIs return a `429` status code. Calls to our APIs include headers indicating the current rate limit status. The specific headers returned depend on the API route being called. The limits differ based on the route, authentication mechanism, and other factors. Routes that are not rate limited may not contain any of the headers described below. > ### Rate limiting and SDKs > > LaunchDarkly SDKs are never rate limited and do not use the API endpoints defined here. LaunchDarkly uses a different set of approaches, including streaming/server-sent events and a global CDN, to ensure availability to the routes used by LaunchDarkly SDKs. ### Global rate limits Authenticated requests are subject to a global limit. This is the maximum number of calls that your account can make to the API per ten seconds. All service and personal access tokens on the account share this limit, so exceeding the limit with one access token will impact other tokens. Calls that are subject to global rate limits may return the headers below: | Header name | Description | | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `X-Ratelimit-Global-Remaining` | The maximum number of requests the account is permitted to make per ten seconds. | | `X-Ratelimit-Reset` | The time at which the current rate limit window resets in epoch milliseconds. | We do not publicly document the specific number of calls that can be made globally. This limit may change, and we encourage clients to program against the specification, relying on the two headers defined above, rather than hardcoding to the current limit. ### Route-level rate limits Some authenticated routes have custom rate limits. These also reset every ten seconds. Any service or personal access tokens hitting the same route share this limit, so exceeding the limit with one access token may impact other tokens. Calls that are subject to route-level rate limits return the headers below: | Header name | Description | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `X-Ratelimit-Route-Remaining` | The maximum number of requests to the current route the account is permitted to make per ten seconds. | | `X-Ratelimit-Reset` | The time at which the current rate limit window resets in epoch milliseconds. | A _route_ represents a specific URL pattern and verb. For example, the [Delete environment](/tag/Environments#operation/deleteEnvironment) endpoint is considered a single route, and each call to delete an environment counts against your route-level rate limit for that route. We do not publicly document the specific number of calls that an account can make to each endpoint per ten seconds. These limits may change, and we encourage clients to program against the specification, relying on the two headers defined above, rather than hardcoding to the current limits. ### IP-based rate limiting We also employ IP-based rate limiting on some API routes. If you hit an IP-based rate limit, your API response will include a `Retry-After` header indicating how long to wait before re-trying the call. Clients must wait at least `Retry-After` seconds before making additional calls to our API, and should employ jitter and backoff strategies to avoid triggering rate limits again. ## OpenAPI (Swagger) and client libraries We have a [complete OpenAPI (Swagger) specification](https://app.launchdarkly.com/api/v2/openapi.json) for our API. We auto-generate multiple client libraries based on our OpenAPI specification. To learn more, visit the [collection of client libraries on GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Alaunchdarkly-api+org%3Alaunchdarkly&type=Repositories). You can also use this specification to generate client libraries to interact with our REST API in your language of choice. Our OpenAPI specification is supported by several API-based tools such as Postman and Insomnia. In many cases, you can directly import our specification to explore our APIs. ## Method overriding Some firewalls and HTTP clients restrict the use of verbs other than `GET` and `POST`. In those environments, our API endpoints that use `DELETE`, `PATCH`, and `PUT` verbs are inaccessible. To avoid this issue, our API supports the `X-HTTP-Method-Override` header, allowing clients to "tunnel" `DELETE`, `PATCH`, and `PUT` requests using a `POST` request. For example, to call a `PATCH` endpoint using a `POST` request, you can include `X-HTTP-Method-Override:PATCH` as a header. ## Beta resources We sometimes release new API resources in **beta** status before we release them with general availability. Resources that are in beta are still undergoing testing and development. They may change without notice, including becoming backwards incompatible. We try to promote resources into general availability as quickly as possible. This happens after sufficient testing and when we're satisfied that we no longer need to make backwards-incompatible changes. We mark beta resources with a "Beta" callout in our documentation, pictured below: > ### This feature is in beta > > To use this feature, pass in a header including the `LD-API-Version` key with value set to `beta`. Use this header with each call. To learn more, read [Beta resources](/#section/Overview/Beta-resources). > > Resources that are in beta are still undergoing testing and development. They may change without notice, including becoming backwards incompatible. ### Using beta resources To use a beta resource, you must include a header in the request. If you call a beta resource without this header, you receive a `403` response. Use this header: ``` LD-API-Version: beta ``` ## Federal environments The version of LaunchDarkly that is available on domains controlled by the United States government is different from the version of LaunchDarkly available to the general public. If you are an employee or contractor for a United States federal agency and use LaunchDarkly in your work, you likely use the federal instance of LaunchDarkly. If you are working in the federal instance of LaunchDarkly, the base URI for each request is `https://app.launchdarkly.us`. In the "Try it" sandbox for each request, click the request path to view the complete resource path for the federal environment. To learn more, read [LaunchDarkly in federal environments](https://docs.launchdarkly.com/home/infrastructure/federal). ## Versioning We try hard to keep our REST API backwards compatible, but we occasionally have to make backwards-incompatible changes in the process of shipping new features. These breaking changes can cause unexpected behavior if you don't prepare for them accordingly. Updates to our REST API include support for the latest features in LaunchDarkly. We also release a new version of our REST API every time we make a breaking change. We provide simultaneous support for multiple API versions so you can migrate from your current API version to a new version at your own pace. ### Setting the API version per request You can set the API version on a specific request by sending an `LD-API-Version` header, as shown in the example below: ``` LD-API-Version: 20240415 ``` The header value is the version number of the API version you would like to request. The number for each version corresponds to the date the version was released in `yyyymmdd` format. In the example above the version `20240415` corresponds to April 15, 2024. ### Setting the API version per access token When you create an access token, you must specify a specific version of the API to use. This ensures that integrations using this token cannot be broken by version changes. Tokens created before versioning was released have their version set to `20160426`, which is the version of the API that existed before the current versioning scheme, so that they continue working the same way they did before versioning. If you would like to upgrade your integration to use a new API version, you can explicitly set the header described above. > ### Best practice: Set the header for every client or integration > > We recommend that you set the API version header explicitly in any client or integration you build. > > Only rely on the access token API version during manual testing. ### API version changelog |<div style="width:75px">Version</div> | Changes | End of life (EOL) |---|---|---| | `20240415` | <ul><li>Changed several endpoints from unpaginated to paginated.

Role based authorization gem

Client library for interacting with the CloudFoundry User Account and Authorization (UAA) server. The UAA is an OAuth2 Authorization Server so it can be used by webapps and command line apps to obtain access tokens to act on behalf of users. The tokens can then be used to access protected resources in a Resource Server. This library is for use by UAA client applications or resource servers.

Adds generic authorization to the jsonapi-resources gem using Pundit.

Provides authentication and authorization services for use with Solidus by using Devise and CanCan.

Verifica is Ruby's most scalable authorization solution, ready to handle sophisticated authorization rules. Verifica is framework and database agnostic and designed around Access Control Lists. ACL powers a straightforward and unified authorization flow for any user and resource, regardless of how tricky the authorization rules are. Verifica aims to solve the issue when authorization rules become too complex to be expressed in a single SQL query. And at the same time the database is too big to execute these rules in the application code.

Client command line tools for interacting with the CloudFoundry User Account and Authorization (UAA) server. The UAA is an OAuth2 Authorization Server so it can be used by webapps and command line apps to obtain access tokens to act on behalf of users. The tokens can then be used to access protected resources in a Resource Server. This library can be used by clients (as a convenient wrapper for mainstream oauth gems) or by resource servers.

# Overview This guide documents the InsightVM Application Programming Interface (API) Version 3. This API supports the Representation State Transfer (REST) design pattern. Unless noted otherwise this API accepts and produces the `application/json` media type. This API uses Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS) and is hypermedia friendly. All API connections must be made to the security console using HTTPS. ## Versioning Versioning is specified in the URL and the base path of this API is: `https://<host>:<port>/api/3/`. ## Specification An <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/2.0.md">OpenAPI v2</a> specification (also known as Swagger 2) of this API is available. Tools such as <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen">swagger-codegen</a> can be used to generate an API client in the language of your choosing using this specification document. <p class="openapi">Download the specification: <a class="openapi-button" target="_blank" download="" href="/api/3/json"> Download </a></p> ## Authentication Authorization to the API uses HTTP Basic Authorization (see <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt">RFC 2617</a> for more information). Requests must supply authorization credentials in the `Authorization` header using a Base64 encoded hash of `"username:password"`. <!-- ReDoc-Inject: <security-definitions> --> ### 2FA This API supports two-factor authentication (2FA) by supplying an authentication token in addition to the Basic Authorization. The token is specified using the `Token` request header. To leverage two-factor authentication, this must be enabled on the console and be configured for the account accessing the API. ## Resources ### Naming Resource names represent nouns and identify the entity being manipulated or accessed. All collection resources are pluralized to indicate to the client they are interacting with a collection of multiple resources of the same type. Singular resource names are used when there exists only one resource available to interact with. The following naming conventions are used by this API: | Type | Case | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------ | | Resource names | `lower_snake_case` | | Header, body, and query parameters parameters | `camelCase` | | JSON fields and property names | `camelCase` | #### Collections A collection resource is a parent resource for instance resources, but can itself be retrieved and operated on independently. Collection resources use a pluralized resource name. The resource path for collection resources follow the convention: ``` /api/3/{resource_name} ``` #### Instances An instance resource is a "leaf" level resource that may be retrieved, optionally nested within a collection resource. Instance resources are usually retrievable with opaque identifiers. The resource path for instance resources follows the convention: ``` /api/3/{resource_name}/{instance_id}... ``` ## Verbs The following HTTP operations are supported throughout this API. The general usage of the operation and both its failure and success status codes are outlined below. | Verb | Usage | Success | Failure | | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | `GET` | Used to retrieve a resource by identifier, or a collection of resources by type. | `200` | `400`, `401`, `402`, `404`, `405`, `408`, `410`, `415`, `500` | | `POST` | Creates a resource with an application-specified identifier. | `201` | `400`, `401`, `404`, `405`, `408`, `413`, `415`, `500` | | `POST` | Performs a request to queue an asynchronous job. | `202` | `400`, `401`, `405`, `408`, `410`, `413`, `415`, `500` | | `PUT` | Creates a resource with a client-specified identifier. | `200` | `400`, `401`, `403`, `405`, `408`, `410`, `413`, `415`, `500` | | `PUT` | Performs a full update of a resource with a specified identifier. | `201` | `400`, `401`, `403`, `405`, `408`, `410`, `413`, `415`, `500` | | `DELETE` | Deletes a resource by identifier or an entire collection of resources. | `204` | `400`, `401`, `405`, `408`, `410`, `413`, `415`, `500` | | `OPTIONS` | Requests what operations are available on a resource. | `200` | `401`, `404`, `405`, `408`, `500` | ### Common Operations #### OPTIONS All resources respond to the `OPTIONS` request, which allows discoverability of available operations that are supported. The `OPTIONS` response returns the acceptable HTTP operations on that resource within the `Allow` header. The response is always a `200 OK` status. ### Collection Resources Collection resources can support the `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` operations. #### GET The `GET` operation invoked on a collection resource indicates a request to retrieve all, or some, of the entities contained within the collection. This also includes the optional capability to filter or search resources during the request. The response from a collection listing is a paginated document. See [hypermedia links](#section/Overview/Paging) for more information. #### POST The `POST` is a non-idempotent operation that allows for the creation of a new resource when the resource identifier is not provided by the system during the creation operation (i.e. the Security Console generates the identifier). The content of the `POST` request is sent in the request body. The response to a successful `POST` request should be a `201 CREATED` with a valid `Location` header field set to the URI that can be used to access to the newly created resource. The `POST` to a collection resource can also be used to interact with asynchronous resources. In this situation, instead of a `201 CREATED` response, the `202 ACCEPTED` response indicates that processing of the request is not fully complete but has been accepted for future processing. This request will respond similarly with a `Location` header with link to the job-oriented asynchronous resource that was created and/or queued. #### PUT The `PUT` is an idempotent operation that either performs a create with user-supplied identity, or a full replace or update of a resource by a known identifier. The response to a `PUT` operation to create an entity is a `201 Created` with a valid `Location` header field set to the URI that can be used to access to the newly created resource. `PUT` on a collection resource replaces all values in the collection. The typical response to a `PUT` operation that updates an entity is hypermedia links, which may link to related resources caused by the side-effects of the changes performed. #### DELETE The `DELETE` is an idempotent operation that physically deletes a resource, or removes an association between resources. The typical response to a `DELETE` operation is hypermedia links, which may link to related resources caused by the side-effects of the changes performed. ### Instance Resources Instance resources can support the `GET`, `PUT`, `POST`, `PATCH` and `DELETE` operations. #### GET Retrieves the details of a specific resource by its identifier. The details retrieved can be controlled through property selection and property views. The content of the resource is returned within the body of the response in the acceptable media type. #### PUT Allows for and idempotent "full update" (complete replacement) on a specific resource. If the resource does not exist, it will be created; if it does exist, it is completely overwritten. Any omitted properties in the request are assumed to be undefined/null. For "partial updates" use `POST` or `PATCH` instead. The content of the `PUT` request is sent in the request body. The identifier of the resource is specified within the URL (not the request body). The response to a successful `PUT` request is a `201 CREATED` to represent the created status, with a valid `Location` header field set to the URI that can be used to access to the newly created (or fully replaced) resource. #### POST Performs a non-idempotent creation of a new resource. The `POST` of an instance resource most commonly occurs with the use of nested resources (e.g. searching on a parent collection resource). The response to a `POST` of an instance resource is typically a `200 OK` if the resource is non-persistent, and a `201 CREATED` if there is a resource created/persisted as a result of the operation. This varies by endpoint. #### PATCH The `PATCH` operation is used to perform a partial update of a resource. `PATCH` is a non-idempotent operation that enforces an atomic mutation of a resource. Only the properties specified in the request are to be overwritten on the resource it is applied to. If a property is missing, it is assumed to not have changed. #### DELETE Permanently removes the individual resource from the system. If the resource is an association between resources, only the association is removed, not the resources themselves. A successful deletion of the resource should return `204 NO CONTENT` with no response body. This operation is not fully idempotent, as follow-up requests to delete a non-existent resource should return a `404 NOT FOUND`. ## Requests Unless otherwise indicated, the default request body media type is `application/json`. ### Headers Commonly used request headers include: | Header | Example | Purpose | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Accept` | `application/json` | Defines what acceptable content types are allowed by the client. For all types, use `*/*`. | | `Accept-Encoding` | `deflate, gzip` | Allows for the encoding to be specified (such as gzip). | | `Accept-Language` | `en-US` | Indicates to the server the client's locale (defaults `en-US`). | | `Authorization ` | `Basic Base64("username:password")` | Basic authentication | | `Token ` | `123456` | Two-factor authentication token (if enabled) | ### Dates & Times Dates and/or times are specified as strings in the ISO 8601 format(s). The following formats are supported as input: | Value | Format | Notes | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | | Date | YYYY-MM-DD | Defaults to 12 am UTC (if used for a date & time | | Date & time only | YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss[.nnn] | Defaults to UTC | | Date & time in UTC | YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss[.nnn]Z | | | Date & time w/ offset | YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss[.nnn][+&#124;-]hh:mm | | | Date & time w/ zone-offset | YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss[.nnn][+&#124;-]hh:mm[<zone-id>] | | ### Timezones Timezones are specified in the regional zone format, such as `"America/Los_Angeles"`, `"Asia/Tokyo"`, or `"GMT"`. ### Paging Pagination is supported on certain collection resources using a combination of two query parameters, `page` and `size`. As these are control parameters, they are prefixed with the underscore character. The page parameter dictates the zero-based index of the page to retrieve, and the `size` indicates the size of the page. For example, `/resources?page=2&size=10` will return page 3, with 10 records per page, giving results 21-30. The maximum page size for a request is 500. ### Sorting Sorting is supported on paginated resources with the `sort` query parameter(s). The sort query parameter(s) supports identifying a single or multi-property sort with a single or multi-direction output. The format of the parameter is: ``` sort=property[,ASC|DESC]... ``` Therefore, the request `/resources?sort=name,title,DESC` would return the results sorted by the name and title descending, in that order. The sort directions are either ascending `ASC` or descending `DESC`. With single-order sorting, all properties are sorted in the same direction. To sort the results with varying orders by property, multiple sort parameters are passed. For example, the request `/resources?sort=name,ASC&sort=title,DESC` would sort by name ascending and title descending, in that order. ## Responses The following response statuses may be returned by this API. | Status | Meaning | Usage | | ------ | ------------------------ |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `200` | OK | The operation performed without error according to the specification of the request, and no more specific 2xx code is suitable. | | `201` | Created | A create request has been fulfilled and a resource has been created. The resource is available as the URI specified in the response, including the `Location` header. | | `202` | Accepted | An asynchronous task has been accepted, but not guaranteed, to be processed in the future. | | `400` | Bad Request | The request was invalid or cannot be otherwise served. The request is not likely to succeed in the future without modifications. | | `401` | Unauthorized | The user is unauthorized to perform the operation requested, or does not maintain permissions to perform the operation on the resource specified. | | `403` | Forbidden | The resource exists to which the user has access, but the operating requested is not permitted. | | `404` | Not Found | The resource specified could not be located, does not exist, or an unauthenticated client does not have permissions to a resource. | | `405` | Method Not Allowed | The operations may not be performed on the specific resource. Allowed operations are returned and may be performed on the resource. | | `408` | Request Timeout | The client has failed to complete a request in a timely manner and the request has been discarded. | | `413` | Request Entity Too Large | The request being provided is too large for the server to accept processing. | | `415` | Unsupported Media Type | The media type is not supported for the requested resource. | | `500` | Internal Server Error | An internal and unexpected error has occurred on the server at no fault of the client. | ### Security The response statuses 401, 403 and 404 need special consideration for security purposes. As necessary, error statuses and messages may be obscured to strengthen security and prevent information exposure. The following is a guideline for privileged resource response statuses: | Use Case | Access | Resource | Permission | Status | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ |------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | | Unauthenticated access to an unauthenticated resource. | Unauthenticated | Unauthenticated | Yes | `20x` | | Unauthenticated access to an authenticated resource. | Unauthenticated | Authenticated | No | `401` | | Unauthenticated access to an authenticated resource. | Unauthenticated | Non-existent | No | `401` | | Authenticated access to a unauthenticated resource. | Authenticated | Unauthenticated | Yes | `20x` | | Authenticated access to an authenticated, unprivileged resource. | Authenticated | Authenticated | No | `404` | | Authenticated access to an authenticated, privileged resource. | Authenticated | Authenticated | Yes | `20x` | | Authenticated access to an authenticated, non-existent resource | Authenticated | Non-existent | Yes | `404` | ### Headers Commonly used response headers include: | Header | Example | Purpose | | -------------------------- | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Allow` | `OPTIONS, GET` | Defines the allowable HTTP operations on a resource. | | `Cache-Control` | `no-store, must-revalidate` | Disables caching of resources (as they are all dynamic). | | `Content-Encoding` | `gzip` | The encoding of the response body (if any). | | `Location` | | Refers to the URI of the resource created by a request. | | `Transfer-Encoding` | `chunked` | Specified the encoding used to transform response. | | `Retry-After` | 5000 | Indicates the time to wait before retrying a request. | | `X-Content-Type-Options` | `nosniff` | Disables MIME type sniffing. | | `X-XSS-Protection` | `1; mode=block` | Enables XSS filter protection. | | `X-Frame-Options` | `SAMEORIGIN` | Prevents rendering in a frame from a different origin. | | `X-UA-Compatible` | `IE=edge,chrome=1` | Specifies the browser mode to render in. | ### Format When `application/json` is returned in the response body it is always pretty-printed (indented, human readable output). Additionally, gzip compression/encoding is supported on all responses. #### Dates & Times Dates or times are returned as strings in the ISO 8601 'extended' format. When a date and time is returned (instant) the value is converted to UTC. For example: | Value | Format | Example | | --------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------- | | Date | `YYYY-MM-DD` | 2017-12-03 | | Date & Time | `YYYY-MM-DD'T'hh:mm:ss[.nnn]Z` | 2017-12-03T10:15:30Z | #### Content In some resources a Content data type is used. This allows for multiple formats of representation to be returned within resource, specifically `"html"` and `"text"`. The `"text"` property returns a flattened representation suitable for output in textual displays. The `"html"` property returns an HTML fragment suitable for display within an HTML element. Note, the HTML returned is not a valid stand-alone HTML document. #### Paging The response to a paginated request follows the format: ```json { resources": [ ... ], "page": { "number" : ..., "size" : ..., "totalResources" : ..., "totalPages" : ... }, "links": [ "first" : { "href" : "..." }, "prev" : { "href" : "..." }, "self" : { "href" : "..." }, "next" : { "href" : "..." }, "last" : { "href" : "..." } ] } ``` The `resources` property is an array of the resources being retrieved from the endpoint, each which should contain at minimum a "self" relation hypermedia link. The `page` property outlines the details of the current page and total possible pages. The object for the page includes the following properties: - number - The page number (zero-based) of the page returned. - size - The size of the pages, which is less than or equal to the maximum page size. - totalResources - The total amount of resources available across all pages. - totalPages - The total amount of pages. The last property of the paged response is the `links` array, which contains all available hypermedia links. For paginated responses, the "self", "next", "previous", "first", and "last" links are returned. The "self" link must always be returned and should contain a link to allow the client to replicate the original request against the collection resource in an identical manner to that in which it was invoked. The "next" and "previous" links are present if either or both there exists a previous or next page, respectively. The "next" and "previous" links have hrefs that allow "natural movement" to the next page, that is all parameters required to move the next page are provided in the link. The "first" and "last" links provide references to the first and last pages respectively. Requests outside the boundaries of the pageable will result in a `404 NOT FOUND`. Paginated requests do not provide a "stateful cursor" to the client, nor does it need to provide a read consistent view. Records in adjacent pages may change while pagination is being traversed, and the total number of pages and resources may change between requests within the same filtered/queries resource collection. #### Property Views The "depth" of the response of a resource can be configured using a "view". All endpoints supports two views that can tune the extent of the information returned in the resource. The supported views are `summary` and `details` (the default). View are specified using a query parameter, in this format: ```bash /<resource>?view={viewName} ``` #### Error Any error responses can provide a response body with a message to the client indicating more information (if applicable) to aid debugging of the error. All 40x and 50x responses will return an error response in the body. The format of the response is as follows: ```json { "status": <statusCode>, "message": <message>, "links" : [ { "rel" : "...", "href" : "..." } ] } ``` The `status` property is the same as the HTTP status returned in the response, to ease client parsing. The message property is a localized message in the request client's locale (if applicable) that articulates the nature of the error. The last property is the `links` property. This may contain additional [hypermedia links](#section/Overview/Authentication) to troubleshoot. #### Search Criteria <a section="section/Responses/SearchCriteria"></a> Multiple resources make use of search criteria to match assets. Search criteria is an array of search filters. Each search filter has a generic format of: ```json { "field": "<field-name>", "operator": "<operator>", ["value": "<value>",] ["lower": "<value>",] ["upper": "<value>"] } ``` Every filter defines two required properties `field` and `operator`. The field is the name of an asset property that is being filtered on. The operator is a type and property-specific operating performed on the filtered property. The valid values for fields and operators are outlined in the table below. Every filter also defines one or more values that are supplied to the operator. The valid values vary by operator and are outlined below. ##### Fields The following table outlines the search criteria fields and the available operators: | Field | Operators | |

discovery connection. Search criteria is an array of search filters. Each search filter has a generic format of: ```json { "field": "<field-name>", "operator": "<operator>", ["value": "<value>",] ["lower": "<value>",] ["upper": "<value>"] } ``` Every filter defines two required properties `field` and `operator`. The field is the name of an asset property that is being filtered on. The list of supported fields vary depending on the type of discovery connection configured for the dynamic site (e.g vSphere, ActiveSync, etc.). The operator is a type and property-specific operating performed on the filtered property. The valid values for fields outlined in the tables below and are grouped by the type of connection. Every filter also defines one or more values that are supplied to the operator. See <a href="#section/Responses/SearchCriteria/OperatorProperties">Search Criteria Operator Properties</a> for more information on the valid values for each operator. ##### Fields (ActiveSync) This section documents search criteria information for ActiveSync discovery connections.

The affixapi.com API documentation. # Introduction Affix API is an OAuth 2.1 application that allows developers to access customer data, without developers needing to manage or maintain integrations; or collect login credentials or API keys from users for these third party systems. # OAuth 2.1 Affix API follows the [OAuth 2.1 spec](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-1-08). As an OAuth application, Affix API handles not only both the collection of sensitive user credentials or API keys, but also builds and maintains the integrations with the providers, so you don't have to. # How to obtain an access token in order to get started, you must: - register a `client_id` - direct your user to the sign in flow (`https://connect.affixapi.com` [with the appropriate query parameters](https://github.com/affixapi/starter-kit/tree/master/connect)) - capture `authorization_code` we will send to your redirect URI after the sign in flow is complete and exchange that `authorization_code` for a Bearer token # Sandbox keys (developer mode) ### dev ``` eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ims5RmxwSFR1YklmZWNsUU5QRVZzeFcxazFZZ0Zfbk1BWllOSGVuOFQxdGciLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1MifQ.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.VLWYjCQvBS0C3ZA6_J3-U-idZj5EYI2IlDdTjAWBxSIHGufp6cqaVodKsF2BeIqcIeB3P0lW-KL9mY3xGd7ckQ ``` #### `employees` endpoint sample: ``` curl --fail \ -X GET \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ims5RmxwSFR1YklmZWNsUU5QRVZzeFcxazFZZ0Zfbk1BWllOSGVuOFQxdGciLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1MifQ.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.VLWYjCQvBS0C3ZA6_J3-U-idZj5EYI2IlDdTjAWBxSIHGufp6cqaVodKsF2BeIqcIeB3P0lW-KL9mY3xGd7ckQ' \ 'https://dev.api.affixapi.com/2023-03-01/developer/employees' ``` ### prod ``` eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ims5RmxwSFR1YklmZWNsUU5QRVZzeFcxazFZZ0Zfbk1BWllOSGVuOFQxdGciLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1MifQ.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.2zdpFAmiyYiYk6MOcbXNUwwR4M1Fextnaac340x54AidiWXCyw-u9KeavbqfYF6q8a9kcDLrxhJ8Wc_3tIzuVw ``` #### `employees` endpoint sample: ``` curl --fail \ -X GET \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ims5RmxwSFR1YklmZWNsUU5QRVZzeFcxazFZZ0Zfbk1BWllOSGVuOFQxdGciLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1MifQ.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.2zdpFAmiyYiYk6MOcbXNUwwR4M1Fextnaac340x54AidiWXCyw-u9KeavbqfYF6q8a9kcDLrxhJ8Wc_3tIzuVw' \ 'https://api.affixapi.com/2023-03-01/developer/employees' ``` # Webhooks An exciting feature for HR/Payroll modes are webhooks. If enabled, your `webhook_uri` is set on your `client_id` for the respective environment: `dev | prod` Webhooks are configured to make live requests to the underlying integration 1x/hr, and if a difference is detected since the last request, we will send a request to your `webhook_uri` with this shape: ``` { added: <api.v20230301.Employees>[ <api.v20230301.Employee>{ ..., date_of_birth: '2010-08-06', display_full_name: 'Daija Rogahn', employee_number: '57993', employment_status: 'pending', employment_type: 'other', employments: [ { currency: 'eur', effective_date: '2022-02-25', employment_type: 'other', job_title: 'Dynamic Implementation Manager', pay_frequency: 'semimonthly', pay_period: 'YEAR', pay_rate: 96000, }, ], first_name: 'Daija', ... } ], removed: [], updated: [ <api.v20230301.Employee>{ ..., date_of_birth: '2009-11-09', display_full_name: 'Lourdes Stiedemann', employee_number: '63189', employment_status: 'leave', employment_type: 'full_time', employments: [ { currency: 'gbp', effective_date: '2023-01-16', employment_type: 'full_time', job_title: 'Forward Brand Planner', pay_frequency: 'semimonthly', pay_period: 'YEAR', pay_rate: 86000, }, ], first_name: 'Lourdes', } ] } ``` the following headers will be sent with webhook requests: ``` x-affix-api-signature: ab8474e609db95d5df3adc39ea3add7a7544bd215c5c520a30a650ae93a2fba7 x-affix-api-origin: webhooks-employees-webhook user-agent: affixapi.com ``` Before trusting the payload, you should sign the payload and verify the signature matches the signature sent by the `affixapi.com` service. This secures that the data sent to your `webhook_uri` is from the `affixapi.com` server. The signature is created by combining the signing secret (your `client_secret`) with the body of the request sent using a standard HMAC-SHA256 keyed hash. The signature can be created via: - create an `HMAC` with your `client_secret` - update the `HMAC` with the payload - get the hex digest -> this is the signature Sample `typescript` code that follows this recipe: ``` import { createHmac } from 'crypto'; export const computeSignature = ({ str, signingSecret, }: { signingSecret: string; str: string; }): string => { const hmac = createHmac('sha256', signingSecret); hmac.update(str); const signature = hmac.digest('hex'); return signature; }; ``` ## Rate limits Open endpoints (not gated by an API key) (applied at endpoint level): - 15 requests every 1 minute (by IP address) - 25 requests every 5 minutes (by IP address) Gated endpoints (require an API key) (applied at endpoint level): - 40 requests every 1 minute (by IP address) - 40 requests every 5 minutes (by `client_id`) Things to keep in mind: - Open endpoints (not gated by an API key) will likely be called by your users, not you, so rate limits generally would not apply to you. - As a developer, rate limits are applied at the endpoint granularity. - For example, say the rate limits below are 10 requests per minute by ip. from that same ip, within 1 minute, you get: - 10 requests per minute on `/orders`, - another 10 requests per minute on `/items`, - and another 10 requests per minute on `/identity`, - for a total of 30 requests per minute.
