I4A API 2.0

Authentication

For security purposes, I4A API 2 will only work on a secure port through HTTPS. To access any of the API functionality, you must first authenticate. Information is available on the API Settings page on how to obtain the values needed to authenticate and update them, if need be.

Authentication Endpoint

POST /i4a/api2/authenticate/

Parameters

username form | required	See API Settings page on how to obtain the value.
password form | required	See API Settings page on how to obtain the value.
token form | required	See API Settings page on how to obtain the value.

Example:

curl --location --request POST 'https://<yourdomain.com>/i4a/api2/authenticate/' \
--form 'username="XXXXXXXX"' \
--form 'password="XXXXXXXX"' \
--form 'token="XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX"'

Response:

{
    "expiration": "{ts '2022-10-25 16:03:47'}",
    "success": true,
    "authKey": "XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX",
    "error": ""
}

Retrieving Data

Once you have successfully obtained the authKey, you can then access a few different read-only endpoints. Note: Your authKey will expire after 4 hours.

Contacts Endpoint

Retrieve contact/member data from the database.

POST /i4a/api2/contacts/

Parameters

authKey header | required	The authKey you received during authentication.
Content-Type header | required	Set this to application/json.
filter form | optional	This is the query filter. Basic usage: lastName:Doe - this will search for contacts where lastName = 'Doe'. Note: the colons separate column name and filter value. If more than one filter is needed, please use commas: lastName:Doe,email:test@domain.com. This will search for contacts where lastName = 'Doe' AND email = 'test@domain.com'. Advanced usage: You can write your own query filter as such: city ='Chicago' OR email LIKE '%i4a%' Note: do not include the keyword 'WHERE'. You may use other query operators (= > < >= <= <> BETWEEN LIKE IN). Date values to query against must be in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd'.
filterOperator form | optional	This can be either 'OR' or 'AND' (default). Only applicable when filter is used with colons.
pageSize form | optional	The number of results to return. Maximum is 100 (default).
page form | optional	The page number, starting at 1 (default). This is useful when your query returns more records than the 'pageSize' allows.

Example:

curl --location --request POST 'https://yourdomain.com/i4a/api2/contacts/' \
--header 'authKey: XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--form 'filter="lastName:Doe"'
