Introduction
The Oktopost API provides programmatic access to read and write Oktopost data. The following docs describe the resources that make up the API. If you have any questions please contact us.
Authentication
All API requests must be authenticated using Basic HTTP Auth. Authentication is performed using an Oktopost Account Id as the username and an API Key as the password. Both values can be found on the My Profile tab in your account.
- All API requests are subjected to the permissions set available for the user requesting the data.
- If the user does not have permissions to perform the action, the API response will be 403 (permission denied).
- If the user does not have access to a certain object, the API response will be 404 (not found).
Base URL
The API's base URL depends on the data center your account is hosted on. If your account is hosted on the US data center, your base URL should be:
api.oktopost.comAnd if your account is hosted on the EU data center, your base URL should be:
eu-api.oktopost.comNote that all API access is available using HTTPS only.
Schema
All data is sent back to the client in a standard JSON format. And all timestamps are sent and received in UTC EPOCH (number of seconds since January 1st, 1970, UTC timezone).
Limiting Requests
The API has a daily rate limit of 20,000 calls per user. The limit resets every day at midnight UTC. Burst rates allow up to 60 calls per minute and 120 calls per 5-second window.
Note that exceeding the burst limit will result in a 15-minute block on additional calls.
Error Handling
The API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API call. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that resulted from the provided information (e.g. a required parameter was missing or the API key was wrong), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error on the Oktopost side.
HTTP Status Code Summary
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 20x | OK - Everything worked as expected. |
| 400 | Bad Request - Often missing a required parameter. |
| 401 | Unauthorized - No valid API key provided. |
| 404 | Not Found - The requested item does not exist. |
| 429 | Too Many Requests - The requests limit has been reached. |
| 50x | Server errors - Something went wrong on our end. |
Every set of results will contain the Result parameter which indicates if the response was successful or not. In case an error was captured, an Errors parameter will be returned as-well. For example:
{
"Result":false,
"Errors":{
"API":{
"Error":"The page you are looking for was not found"
}
}
}Pagination
All API endpoints that return lists of objects share a common structure. The following parameters can be used to iterate between pages and determine the number and order of the result set.
| Param | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| _count | 25 | The number of items per page. Unless specified otherwise, options are: 25, 50 and 100 |
| _page | 0 | The current page |
| _order | created,0 | The order of the result set. 0 means descending and 1 means ascending |

}Note that if the mimeType or name fields are not sent and can not be determined from the source, the request will fail.
Chunked Uploads
If your file weighs more than 10 MiB, Oktopost will try to download it in chunks. If one of the chunked requests fails, the system will retry to download it up to 5 times before failing the entire request.
To check if your request has been processed, you can use the Get Upload endpoint above. While the upload is in progress, the Status field will be set to pending, and the MediaId will be set to null.
{
"Result": true,
"Upload": {

}Token Login
Token Login is the type of web authentication that provides users with a uniquely-generated encrypted token that is used to log in to the platform without entering a username and password. The following endpoint allows you to provide a Single Sign-on option for users by generating a one-time access token.
How it Works
Obtaining the Login Token
To obtain the token, you must make an authenticated request to the endpoint below and include your application's privateKey.
Example Request
curl -i https://api.oktopost.com/v2/auth-token?privateKey=[KEY]Example Result
{
"Result":true,
"Token":"574dac5e6bcb31.23085498b3fc1c5d3398cca07bb31e5729d3a32f"
}Note that the privateKey is available only for authorized applications. If you wish to use this endpoint, please contact us.
Final Redirect
Once the token has been obtained, the user has to be redirected to the following URL:
Example Redirect
https://app.oktopost.com/auth/token/id/[TOKEN]By default, the user will be redirected to the Oktopost dashboard. If you wish to redirect the user to any other page within the platform you can add a _redirect parameter to the URL with the desired path, as such:
Example Redirect With Followup URL
https://app.oktopost.com/auth/token/id/[TOKEN]?_redirect=/calendarUsers
