Content API

Content API feature enables you to configure your API end points in Connect and use it to fetch any data and use it in your campaigns.

To add a content API, go to Profile (top right corner) -> Settings -> Content API.

How to add and test a Content API

1Click ‘+Content API’ to add a new content API.

2In the popup, enter a API name and add API cuRL request with placeholders (if any) and click Validate.

3If there are any placeholders present in the API Request, then its recommended to add a description for the same. This will help your marketing/product teams to use these parameters properly in campaign. Click Continue.

4 Add Rate Limit for your API. Its optional, however we recommended to add the rate limit if your API has any limitation on the no of requests it can process per second/minute/hour. You can add up to 60 API calls per second or 4000 API calls per minute or 240,000 API calls per hour.

5Add the cURL request with sample values to test the API. Click ‘Test CURL’

6You will see API response with Status, Response Size and Response Time.

7Select the response fields you want to use it in your campaign.

9Click ‘Save Configuration’ and you will see it in the Content API listing page.
