Destek Sitesi API'si - Destek Sitesi Yardım Sayfaları

Genel info

Base address

The API address is:

https://[HELPDESK]/api

Where [HELPDESK] is the helpdesk application address. Hosted or self-installed, doesn’t matter.

Don’t forget to add “/helpdesk” to the URL if your Helpdesk is hosted under a sub-directory.

Example of the correct URL for SaaS helpdesk clients:

https://company.desteksitesi.com/helpdesk/api

Basic authentication

Every API action checks the user’s permissions before executing the action (showing tickets, posting comments etc), so you must authenticate as a helpdesk user by sending basic authorization headers with every call.

Again: all the methods use basic authentication and you need to pass the Authorization header with every API call.

Most of http-client software (like curl etc.) support basic authentication out of the box without any additional coding. But just in case – here’s how you construct the Authorization header programmatically:

Username and password are combined into a colon-separated string
```
username:password
```
The resulting string literal is then encoded using Base64
The authorization method and a space i.e. Basic is then put before the encoded string.
NOTE: even if you use Windows authentication with your on-premise helpdesk installation you still have to use Basic auth headers! Simply pass your Windows username and password. Also don’t forget to include the user’s domain into the username like this DOMAIN\Username.
For example, if the user has admin username and admin password then the header is formed as follows:
```
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=
```

Example of a curl call:

curl -u admin:password -v http://localhost/helpdesk/api/Ticket?id=1234

NOTE: If you are using Windows\AD authentication specify the fully qualified domain name as your username, like DOMAIN\username.

Keep in mind that passing wrong username and/or password to the app 3 times in a row blocks your IP address for 5 minutes.

Token authentication

In addition to Basic Authentication described above, we support token authentication.

Authorization: Bearer <User-Token>

You can get your <User-Token> by visiting /User/Token/ page in the helpdesk app. You can also visit /User/Token?json=true to get the token in the JSON format.

Note: when a user changes their password – the authentication token expires and stops working. If you’d like to invalidate all tokens at once and force them all to expire – change the app’s “shared secret” setting in the admin area.

Passing parameters

All incoming method-parameters should be passed via query-strings like this

http://helpdesk-url/api/SetCustomField?ticketId=123&fieldId=321&value=blahblah

or via the POST data.

Use Query-string or POST vars, not JSON

When sending parameters to the API, pass them as either query-string, or via POST fields. Do not use JSON. Some of our most used API methods support incoming JSON (because people are lazy and don’t read the docs) but the recommended way is to avoid it.

GZipped response

Make sure you add Accept-Encoding: gzip header to save bandwidth and get the response faster

Response codes

API methods respond with a status code:

200 (OK) – all good
404 (not found) – something is not found. For example, you’re getting a user with a non-existing username. Or a ticket with a wrong ID.
400 (bad request) – your request has an error. For example, a required parameter is missing or malformed.
429 (too many requests) – rate-limit is exceeded.

When getting an error code ALWAYS LOOK AT THE RESPONSE BODY it will tell you what went wrong exactly.

General methods

Authorization (POST)

POST https://[helpdesk-url]/api/Authorization

Use this method to simply test if you pass correct basic authentication headers. The method returns a helpdesk “user” object (as a JSON string) that represents the current user.

Authentication API

You can also utilize the Authentication API that is included in both the hosted and self-hosted version. Please find more details here

Rate Limiting

Many of the resource-intensive methods in the Help Desk API have rate-limits and throttle abusive clients. Most of the calls are limited to 90 times per minute, while Search and UserByEmail are limited to 60 times per minute. If a client sends more requests, the server either responds with 429 status code or sometimes just serves artificially slow responses. Wait a couple of minutes and try again.

If you’re using the self-hosted version you can disable rate limiting by adding this to the “appsettings.json” configuration file:

"DisableRateLimit" : "true",
