Flexbe API documentation

API (Application Programming Interface) allows you to get and change information about leads, clients, payments as well as to send information about events to your scripts.

API is used to send GET and POST requests to the URL which looks as follows:

http://{your_domain}/mod/api/?api_key={key}

api_key is used to identify all the requests to API. You can generate and change it in the Site panel.

The data is returned in the UTF-8 encoding, in JSON format. The content is stored in the “data” object.

  • curl 'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/?api_key=5xxxxxfc7103bde368b708b7f3ed95a004496740&method=checkConnection'

    /* Response */
    {"status":1}
  • echo file_get_contents(
    'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/'
    .'?api_key=5xxxc7103bde368b708b7f3ed95a004496740'
    .'&method=checkConnection'
    );
    // php.ini must have an option allow_url_fopen=On


    /* Response */
    {"status":1}
  • var request = require('request'); // npm install request request.post({ uri: 'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/', form: {
    api_key:'5xxxc7103bde368b708b7f3ed95a004496740',
    method:'checkConnection'
    }}, function(err, res, body) {
    console.log(JSON.parse(body));
    });


    /* Response */
    {"status":1}

Generating

Download an archive with examples of using API and event handlers.

Generate an HTTP API endpoint and an API key in the Settings — API.

Add URLs of your event handlers if needed.

  • curl 'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/?api_key=xxxxxxxxxx'
  • // We initialize a class to work with API
    require('flexbe_api.class.php');

    $api_url = 'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/';
    $api_key = 'ed677c52dccc04a456f846ebe06849b551f53f20';

    $flexbe = new flexbeAPI($api_url,$api_key);

    // Connection check
    if ( !$flexbe->checkConnection() ) {
      print_r($flexbe->errors);
      exit();
    }
  • var request = require('request'); // npm install request
    flexbeAPI = {
       url:'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/',
       api_key:'ed677c52dccc04a456f846ebe06849b551f53f20',

       // Call of API method
       query:function(method, params, callbackFunc){
          params.api_key = this.api_key;
          params.method = method;

          request.post({uri: this.api_url, form: params},
          function(err, res, body) { try {
             callbackFunc(JSON.parse(body));
          } catch (error) { console.log(error); } });
       },
    };

Limits

You can receive up to 1000 leads per one request with getLeads method.

If you need to get more than 1000 leads, divide the call to API into several requests specifying start and count (pagination).

The maximum rate limit is 100 requests to API per minute.

Error codes

0 — Invalid acces key

1 — Request limit is exceeded

2 — Nonexistent method

  • // Object with error information
    error: {
      code: 0,
      msg: "Invalid api_key",
    }

Methods

A method name is sent in the parameter &method=

http://{your_domain}/mod/api/?api_key={key}&method=getLeads

getLeads — getting

Leads are sorted by date of creation, from the last lead to the first one.

  • curl 'http://yourdomain.com/mod/api/?api_key=xxxxx&method=getLeads&client_email=dev@flexbe.com'
  • $leads_res = $flexbe->getLeads( array(
        // Date of lead creation is more than a month ago
        'date_from'=>strtotime('-1 month'),

        // but less than today
        'date_to'=>strtotime('today UTC'),
    ));
  • flexbeAPI.query('getLeads', {
        status:0// new leads
    }, function(result){
        var leads = result.data.leads;
        for(var id in leads){
            var lead = leads[id];
            console.log(lead);
        }
    });

Web-hooks

Web-hook is a scrip to which the information about an event is sent.

For example, when a new lead is generated our server sends to your script information about it (POST method).

It allows getting information as quickly as possible and obviates the need 

to track new leads/payments by regularly sending requests to API.

Main fields:

event

Event type

site

Information about a site

data

Information about an event (lead fields)

  • // print_r($_REQUEST);
    [event] => 'lead',
    [site] => Array (
        [id] => 174911// account id
        [sub_id] => 180023// landing page (page group) id
        [domain] => yourdomain.com
        [name] => Landing page
    )
    [data] => Array (
        [id] => 1414
        [num] => 414
        [time] => 1444215670
        [status] => Array
            (
                [code] => 0
                [name] => New
            )

        [client] => Array
            (
