Engati APIs
1. Introduction
The Engati APIs allow you to integrate with the platform and create useful functionality around the platform. The APIs are REST-based using JSON as the standard response type.
2. Authentication
The Engati APIs follow basic authentication utilizing API Keys to authenticate the API calls. The API Keys can be generated by going to the Integration->Engati APIs Settings and creating an app. The API Keys can be revoked or regenerated at any point in time. Revoked or older keys would throw authentication errors for the API calls made using them. The API Keys need to be added to the Authorization header as follows –
“Authorization”: “Basic <API Key>”
3. API Endpoints
Following is the list of API endpoints currently supported along with their parameters and sample responses. Customer identifier and bot key details required for the APIs can also be accessed from the Developer Settings section on the portal.
