Overview

Version 3 of the Helpjuice API is structured around REST, HTTP, and JSON. API endpoint URLs are organized around resources, such as users or articles. It uses HTTP methods for indicating the action to take on a resource, and HTTP status codes for expressing error statuses. Resources are represented in JSON following a conventional schema.

Base URL

The API is accessed using a base URL that is specific to your account. In the examples provided in this documentation, we use the URL youraccountname.helpjuice.com as a stand-in for your real account API URL. In addition, URL paths should begin with api/v3 to specify version 3 of the API. Generally, the URL will be in the form:

Knowledge Base https://<your-account>.helpjuice.com/api/v3/<resource>

Authentication

All requests to the API are authenticated by providing your API key. The API key should be provided as an HTTP header named Authorization or as api_key query parameter. (How do I get my API key).

Param	Value
api_key	ffb722a62e8**********************

Your API key can be found in your account on the Settings/API Credentials page for instructions please visit How do I get my API key. Each account has its own unique API key.

Require token for API? option in your API Credentials settings page needs to be enabled.

User Identification

By default, all API V3 requests are performed as if the account's owner themselves were logged in. However, if you would like to "impersonate" a custom user to restrict content and features the user can use, you can do so by using HTTP Basic Auth. Just provide the user's email as the username and a blank password and Helpjuice will perform the request as if that user were logged in.

This is useful for implementations where you would like to consume the API and provide Helpjuice functionality in a custom way to your users. You can do so by implementing a custom service of your own, behind your own user authentication wall, and proxy requests from your frontend, through your service (which would add the current user's email and your API key) and finally to Helpjuice servers. This way, you keep your private key hidden and have more freedom on how to authenticate users.

HTTP Methods

The v3 API uses standard HTTP methods for indicating the action to take on a resource.

Method	Action
GET	Retrieve a resource
POST	Create a new resource
PUT	Update a resource
DELETE	Remove a resource

Schema

All API requests and response bodies adhere to a common JSON format representing individual items and collections of items.

Single Resources

Individual resources are represented by top level member named after the resource in the singular form. Below is a representation of a single contact. This could be used in the body of a PUT request and it what would be returned in the body of a GET request.

{
  "user": {
    "email": "jsmith@example.com",
    "name": "John Smith",
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Smith",
    "role_id": "superadmin",
    "created_at": "2020-07-08T13:50:20.949Z",
    "updated_at": "2020-07-08T13:50:20.949Z"
  }
}

Collections

Collections of resources are represented by a top level member named after the resource in the plural form. Below is a representation of a collection of contacts.

{
  "users": [
    {
      "email": "jsmith@example.com",
      "name": "John Smith",
      "first_name": "John",
      "last_name": "Smith",
      "role_id": "superadmin",
      "created_at": "2020-07-08T13:50:20.949Z",
      "updated_at": "2020-07-08T13:50:20.949Z"
    },
    {
      "email": "jdoe@example.com",
      "name": "John Doe",
      "first_name": "John",
      "last_name": "Doe",
      "role_id": "admin",
      "created_at": "2020-07-08T13:50:20.949Z",
      "updated_at": "2020-07-08T13:50:20.949Z"
    }
  ]
}

Pagination

Endpoints that return collections of resources must limit the number of records returned in a given response. A typical endpoint will return 25 records by default, the query parameter limit can be used to alter the number of records returned.

{
  "meta": {
    "current": 1,
    "limit": 15,
    "total_pages": 4,
    "total_count": 50
  }
}

Parameter	Description
Limit	The number of results to display in each page ( default = 25, max = 1000 ).
Page	Current page with data.

Errors

The API uses HTTP status codes to indicate an error has occurred while processing a request. There are four main error status codes used by the API:

Code	Description
403	In case the API key is not provided.
404	In case the requested data does not exist.
422	The request could not be processed, usually due to a missing or invalid parameter.

In the case of 422 errors, the response will also include an error object with an explanation of fields that are missing or invalid. Here is an example:

HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity {   "errors": [     {       "email": "is not valid."     }   ] }

PARAMS

processed: Provide "true" if you want to see the final processed article body (which expands internal blocks, for example). This is useful in combination with HTTP Basic Auth when you want to render the article for a particular user.
kb_language: Applicable to articles that have translations. When you provide this parameter, Helpjuice will try to find the translated version of the requested article. If it exists, that version will be returned. Otherwise, the default one will be returned
- Let's say you have an article with ID 100 in English (en_US) and it's also translated to Spanish (es_ES). If you request "/api/v3/articles/100?kb_language=es_ES", then the Spanish version will be returned. Now if you request "/api/v3/articles/100?kb_language=pt_PT", the English version will be returned as you don't have a translation for this article in that language
