API Documentation

Desk360 APIs also support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).

The list of API commands used by Desk360

All API requests must reach the secure endpoint i.e. HTTPS only

This rate limit applies are based on IP address.

  • Make sure to apply the rate limit-best practices and it stays within the rate limit.

  • Make sure to make API calls in a safe layer such as your backend, not front-end or your mobile application.

  • Remind that even invalid requests are included in the rate limit.

Check your current rate limit status by looking at the following HTTP headers returned in response to each API request:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 58

If your API request is received after the rate limit is reached, Desk360 will return an error in the response. The Retry-After value in the response header will tell you how long to wait before sending another API request.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Retry-After: 26

Who can access my helpdesk? Can anyone see my data?

Before prioritizing a ticket or responding to a customer or using any of the APIs listed above, you must authenticate or log in as you sign in to your helpdesk web portal.

To authenticate the request, you can use your personal. You can obtain your API token with a request with your username and password.

All Desk360 API endpoints (except login) need this token in order to respond to your request.

Obtain your token with a request.

You can directly use v1/login endpoint in order to create/obtain an API token. This API will return an auto-generate a token and returns it.

To make it secure, the maximum wrong login attempt is fixed to 5 per minute.

Correct attempts do not affect the limits.

Login

POST https://public-api.desk360.com/v1/login

Use a valid email and password pair to obtain a token.

Request Body

{
    "access_token": "1|iybflVqHloQdz9QH4PIkX0q1Od68T9sDrKCtnuxW6f78ad5b",
    "token_type": "Bearer"
}
curl --location --request POST 'https://public-api.desk360.com/v1/login' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "email": "abc@example.com",
    "password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}'

The following endpoints are supported with attachments:

Please follow the guidelines listed below:

  • Only files on a local machine can be added using the API. You can not use links!

  • Content-Type should always be multi-part/form-data for attached requests.

I received an error. How can I solve it?

API requests that cause errors will return an appropriate HTTP status code to help determine the type of error. You can use the following table to understand what each code means:

Sample error response

In addition to the HTTP status code, most errors also return a response with more information to help you troubleshoot the error. An example error response is shown below. The format of the error response is explained after the example.

    "error": {
        "code": "failed_validation",
        "message": "The to field is required."
        "doc_url": "https://docs.desk360.com/api"
    }
}

Error Response Fields

Error Codes

API responses that return a list of objects are paginated, for example, View Integration List. Add the parameter page to the query string to navigate through the pages. The page number starts from 1 and each page is fixed to show 20 objects.

https://public-api.desk360.com/api/v1/integrations?page=1

The "Link" header in the response will be showing the next page if it exists:

Headers
"Link" : <https://public-api.desk360.com/v1/integrations?page=2>; rel=next

If you are on the last page the link header will not be filled.

  • Whenever it is possible, please queue API calls on your side. This allows you to buffer recent calls to avoid reaching the rate limit. Once you reach the rate limit, retry API calls after the retry period.

  • Whenever it is feasible, cache the data that does not change much on your side. For example, the mapping between agent name and ID is extremely unlikely to change, so it is a useful approach to cache this data to avoid the rate limit.

  • Avoid making API calls directly from a mobile app, instead, send the request to your servers and make API calls from there. This ensures that if an API endpoint is changed, you can make and deploy the change on your server instead of updating your application and forcing your customers to the latest version.
