API Overview and Sample Payloads

This article includes a complete overview of each Iterable API type, how to use them, sample requests and best practices.

When submitting an API call, you can enter your API key either in the URI or in the headers.

Skip to more specific sections here:

1. Where is my API Key?
2. Where are Iterable's API Docs?
3. Where do I put my API key in the request?

Where is my API Key?

You can find your API Key by going to Integrations > API Keys in Iterable's left side menu.

Where are Iterable's API Docs?

You can add users into Iterable, update users, send events, access data, create campaigns and much more with Iterable's APIs.

To view Iterable's API Explorer, go to Support > API Documentation on the left side menu.

You will see a list of our APIs with different functions.

You can also send sample requests on this page.

Where do I put my API key in the request?

The base URI is api.iterable.com.

You can put the API key directly in the query string, using api_key or apiKey. An example of an API call for the events track API would be:

https://api.iterable.com/api/events/track?apiKey=yourkeyhere

You can also place your API key in the header. The name of the header field for the API key is Api_Key or Api-Key.

In our API Explorer docs, before entering your JSON payload, you'll need to authorize the API key in the Authentication Header section on the upper left hand corner of the page. If you enter the JSON payload first, once you authorize the key, the JSON payload will be erased and need to be re-entered. 

API Endpoints

Lists

   "listId": 1,

    }],
   "campaignId": 123,                         <-- (optional)
   "channelUnsubscribe": false              <-- (optional)
}

Get Users in List

    "name":"exampleListName"
}

Events

Get Events Associated with a User

Use this to receive events associated with a user profile. This will include custom events and Iterable-standard events like "Sent an Email", "Opened email" and "Clicked a link". The default value for "limit" is 30 - if no override is set, the user's last 30 events will be returned.

Sample:

https://api.iterable.com:443/api/events/jeremy%40iterable.com?api_key=[API_KEY]

Response:

{
   "events": [{
      "contentId": 330397,

Track Event

Use this to send custom events, such as user logins, signups and app opens to Iterable. These events can then be used to trigger workflows or for custom conversion tracking in campaigns. Data fields in custom event calls can be used to populate merge parameters in templates. You can also segment on these events in the user profile. If 'createdAt' field is not included, event will be sent immediately. Either email or userId must be passed in to identify the user. If both are passed in, email takes precedence.

An optional String id parameter may be passed as one of the top level parameters. If an event exists with that id, the event will be updated. If no id is specified, a new id will automatically be generated and returned.

Sample JSON Body:

{
   "email": "sherry@iterable.com",         <-- (optional)

Update Cart

Updates shoppingCartItems field on the user profile. Fields in bold are required.

Note: We recommend casting the required price field as a double instead of a long. To do that, you will need to include a number with a decimal in the first call that you use to cast that field. Use a non-zero decimal value to cast the field as a double (example: 5.55). Otherwise, the field will be cast as a long.
