DATA-API Overview
The DATA-API is organized based on REST service. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.
The DATA-API allows the user to execute the following operations
Verb | Operation | Endpoint |
---|---|---|
POST | Create Record | /api/:entity_name |
PUT | Edit Record | /api/:entity_name/:id |
DELETE | Delete Record | /api/:entity_name/:id |
POST | Search Record | /api/:entity_name/search |
POST | Export Record | /api/:entity_name/export |
Authentication
The Stack9 Data-API
uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the YOUR_DOMAIN/apps/administration/api_key Stack9 Back office Dashboard.
Your API keys have many privileges, so be sure to keep them safe. Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub repository, Docker-Hub, client-side code, and so on.
Use your API key
by adding it on the Api-Key
header in each request.
// NodeJS example
fetch('https://april9.stack9.co/api/customer/search', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Api-Key': '<my_secret_api_key>',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
// OR
const response = await fetch('https://april9.stack9.co/api/user', {
headers: {
'Api-Key': '<my_secret_api_key>',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
// OUTPUT
// [
// {
// id: 1,
// email: 'my_email@domain.com.au'
// },
// {
// id: 2,
// email: 'other_email@domain.com.au'
// },
// ];
All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
Status Code | Operation | Response |
