Rest API

V1.01

This Rest API allows a registered user to submit a variety of messages and retrieve reports using PUT, GET and POST over HTTP.

It also allows Admins or Agents to add and edit users, as well as view the jobs of their users.

There are two primary resources: Jobs and Users

Authentication

All requests to this REST API must be authenticated with "Basic Authentication", using the users username and password. To avoid the users details being visible in the request to a third party, all requests to this API must be via HTTPS.

The authenticating user can be a User, Agent or Admin. The permissions of the user will determine what they can do.

To use Basic Authentication, the client adds the HTTP header "Authorization: Basic {credentials}" to the HTTPS requests where {credentials} is the base64-encoded string "your_username:your_password".

Most systems that programmatically access the web have options to add headers to requests, or can do the authentication for you. For example, he utility CURL has the -H option to add headers to the request, or you can add the parameter -u "login:password" and it will add the Authentication line for you.

If your username is "testuser" and your password is "testpassword" then you base64 encode the string "testuser:testpassword" getting "dGVzdHVzZXI6dGVzdHBhc3N3b3Jk"

So your HTTPS headers should include the line:

Authorization: Basic dGVzdHVzZXI6dGVzdHBhc3N3b3Jk

For example, using CURL, you could user either:

curl https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/jobs -H "Authorization: Basic bG9naW46cGFzc3dvcmQ"
or
curl https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/jobs -u "testuser:testpassword"

Request Headers

As well as requiring the authentication header, all requests should include the headers:

  • Content-Type: application/json
  • Accept: application/json

List jobs

Request

To list jobs, a GET request is submitted to https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/jobs along with the required headers, which will return a page of the most recent jobs.

Parameters can be passed in to filter the results. These parameters are:

  • page=## - The page number to return. If not specified, the first page is returned.
  • page_size=## - The number of records to return in each page of results. Defaults to 10.
  • job_name={job_name} - Only list jobs with a given job name. For example "Schedule-Reminder", to list jobs given that particular name at creation.
  • job_type={type} - Only list jobs of the given type, one of "Email", "Fax", "Sms", "2 Way SMS", "Text-to-speech", "2 way TTS", "Voice". The value is case insensitive.
  • job_status={status} - Only list jobs with a given job status, usually one of: "broadcast submitted", "complete", "closed".
  • start_after={startdate} - Only list jobs started after the given date and time.
  • start_before={startdate} - Only list jobs started before the given date and time.
  • user_id={userid} - Only list jobs belonging to the given userid. Eg. the user with id 987. This is only relevant for authenticated agents or admins.
  • user_code={usercode} - Only list jobs belonging to the given user_code. Eg. The user with login "au/my_test_account". Only relevant for authenticated agents or admins, as authenticated users can only view their own jobs.

These parameters can be combined, for example to list all jobs of type "Email" with the job name "Schedule-Reminder" for the user with id 987, you would use the URL:

https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/jobs?job_name=Schedule-Reminder&job_type=Email&user_id=987

Response

The response is returned as a JSON object.

All reponses will include a status field, which will reflect the HTTP status code. So a successful response will have a status of 200, and an error will have a status of 4xx or 5xx. This response can be read from the HTTP response status, or the "status" field in the returned JSON.

For a successful response, the JSON will also include a data field, which will contain an array of job objects (See example).

For a unsuccessful response, the JSON will also include an errors field, which will contain a human readable description of the error, such as "errors": "Permission denied"

The JSON will also include counts of the results and a range of navigation links to the various pages.

Get Job Details

Request

To get the full details for a job, a GET request is submitted to https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} along with the required headers, which will return the job details including the original recipient list (if applicable) as well as the delivery reports.

Response

The response will be a Json object with a status element and a data or errors element. The status element reflects the HTTP status, so 200 for success or 4xx/5xx for an error. If the result is an error, then the errors element will contain the error message.

On success, the data element will contain the details of the job, including the original recipient list (if applicable) as well as the delivery reports.

Create Job - Overview

Jobs are created by posting the job data as a JSON string to https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/jobs along with the required headers. While most of the fields (listed below) are consistent across job types, each job type has additional fields (such as message for SMS), as shown in the relevant section below.

You will need to include the basic authentication header outlined above

The response will be a Json object with a status element and a data or errors element. The status element reflects the HTTP status, so 200 for success or 4xx/5xx for an error. If the result is an error, then the errors element will contain the error message.

On success, the data element will contain the job_id for the job.

When sending a job, either an array of recipient details must be included in the field recipients, or a comma separated string of user list ids in the field: user_list_ids, where each user list id is for a list previously uploaded via the portal. If both are included, the message will be sent to the uploaded user lists, and the recipient array will be ignored.

Request fields

  • Field Type Required Description
    job_type String Yes The type of job, one of "Email", "Fax", "Sms", "2 Way SMS", "Text-to-speech", "2 way TTS", "Voice".
    job_name String No The name of the job, as given when the job was created.
    scheduled_date DateTime No A date time in the future when the message should be sent.
    dedupe Integer No Whether to remove duplicate recipients from the list. 1 to remove duplicates, 0 to leave them in.
    recipients Json array Dependent An array of recipient details (see below). This or user_list_ids must exist
    user_list_ids String Dependent A comma separated string of user list ids to send the message to. This or recipients must exist
    cutoff_hour String No This is a time (HH:ss) in your local timezone, past which messaged for this job should not be sent. This can be used to stop large TTS jobs (for example) calling people too late at night.
    callback_url String No If this is specified for FAX/TTS/Voice jobs, delivery report data is posted to the given url for each recipient delivered to. See the section Fax/TTS Delivery Report Received for the callback details.
    In addition for SMS jobs, if this is set then SMS replies to two way SMS jobs will be posted to this URL. See the section SMS Reply Received.
    If the sms specific field callback_on_sms_status_update is set to true, then SMS delivery reports will also be posted to this URL. See the section SMS Delivery Report Received.

    Note, each message type has it's own additional fields outlined in the relevent section below.

    Recipient array fields

    Field Type Required Description
    destination String Yes The destination address for the message. This will be a phone number for Fax voice ir SMS, or an email address for Email.
    reference String No A reference for the recipient. This will be returned in the delivery reports.
    recipient String No The name of the recipient. This will be returned in the delivery reports.
    *other merge data* String No If your SMS, Email or TTS message includes merge strings like %%address%%, you should include an address field here. You can have up to 100 additional different merge fields.

    When using pre-uploaded user lists, there are a number of fixed mergefields that are included. These are:
    Recipient, Reference, Email, Fax, Phone, Mobile, CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, CustomField4, CustomField5, CustomField6.
    Thus when using uploaded lists to send a message, you merge your custom data by including %%recipient%% or %%customfield1%% in your message.

    Create Two Way SMS Job

    You can create a Two Way SMS job, where the recipients can return a reply that will be captured and emailed to you.

    This is done by sending a message as outlined above with:
    job_type: 2 way sms
    and any of the additional fields below:

    2 Way SMS Additional Request fields

    Field Type Required Description
    message String Yes The message to send as the sms. Note you can include merge fields here, such as %%recipient%%.
    response_email_address String No The email address to send the replies to.
    optout_code String No If this is set, any recipient who reply with this code will be added to your optout list and will not be sent further SMSs from your account
    batch_replies Boolean No If this is set to true, all replies will be batched into a single email, rather than one email per reply.
    expires Int No This is the time allowed for replies and defaults to 24 hours. After this no more replies will be forwarded to you, though they will still be recorded for the job. Also if batch_replies is set to true, the collected replies will be emailed at this point.
    use_two_way_custom_sender_id Boolean No Normally for a 2 Way SMS the SMS sender id is taken from our pool of sms numbers, or a custom dedicated Sender ID will be used (if configured). This allows replies to be received by our system and recorded. By setting this to true, you can enter a value for manual_sender_id and the message will be sent from that sender, but in this case you will have to add to your message something like "Please send replies to %%ReplyNum%%" in your SMS." as otherwise any replies will go to your custom sender id and not our system.

    Create MMS Job (Two Way)

    You can create a MMS job including a subject field and a media file, where the recipients can return a reply that will be captured and emailed to you.

    This is done by sending a message as outlined above with:
    job_type: mms
    and any of the additional fields below:

    MMS Additional Request fields

    Field Type Required Description
    message String No A text message to send as part of the mms. Note you can include merge fields here, such as %%recipient%%.
    subject String No A Subject field to send as part of the mms. Note you can include merge fields here, such as %%recipient%%.
    files Json array Yes A Json array of the files to send as part of the MMS. This should be a json array of File objects (below). These file objects can either contain a url to the file to send or the file content base64 encoded: For example:
    "files": [
        {
            "name": "textwav1.wav",
            "url": "https:\/\/mydomain.com\/files\/testwav.wav"
        },
        {
            "name": "map.jpg",
            "base64content": "\/9j\/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD
             ... 9dUhGzMD0UWAd7PcU8pk44l0xRpGvgihR+gY74DMZjMZgP\/9k="
        }
    ]
                                        
    Note, currently we can only send a single media file via MMS. This will be extended in the future, so we are accepting an array here for future compatibility.
    response_email_address String No The email address to send the replies to.
    optout_code String No If this is set, any recipient who reply with this code will be added to your optout list and will not be sent further SMSs from your account
    batch_replies Boolean No If this is set to true, all replies will be batched into a single email, rather than one email per reply.
    expires Int No This is the time allowed for replies and defaults to 24 hours. After this no more replies will be forwarded to you, though they will still be recorded for the job. Also if batch_replies is set to true, the collected replies will be emailed at this point.
    use_two_way_custom_sender_id Boolean No Normally for a 2 Way SMS the SMS sender id is taken from our pool of sms numbers, or a custom dedicated Sender ID will be used (if configured). This allows replies to be received by our system and recorded. By setting this to true, you can enter a value for manual_sender_id and the message will be sent from that sender, but in this case you will have to add to your message something like "Please send replies to %%ReplyNum%%" in your SMS." as otherwise any replies will go to your custom sender id and not our system.
    Not recommended unless you really need this
    manual_sender_id String No If use_two_way_custom_sender_id is set to true, then the value here will be the displayed sender for the job.
    callback_on_sms_status_update Boolean No If this is set alongside the general field callback_url, then on recieving a sms delivery report from the carrier, the delivery report details will be posted to the callback_url address. See SMS Delivery Report Received for details.

    File

    name String Yes The file name for the file.

    List users

    Request

    To list users, a GET request is submitted to https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/users along with the required headers, which will return a page of users. Authorized admins can see all uses for a distributor, agents can see all users linked to them, and a user will only see themself.

    A parameter can be passed in to find users with full or partial name matches, as well as parameters to pick different pages:

    • page=## - The page number to return. If not specified, the first page is returned.
    • page_size=## - The number of records to return in each page of results. Defaults to 10.
    • user_code={usercode} - Only list users who's name matches *{usercode}*. For example "jon" will find "au/jon1", "au/jonathan" etc.

    Response

    The response is an array of users returned as a JSON object.

    All reponses will include a status field, which will reflect the HTTP status code. So a successful response will have a status of 200, and an error will have a status of 4xx or 5xx. This response can be read from the HTTP response status, or the "status" field in the returned JSON.

    For a successful response, the JSON will also include a data field, which will contain an array of matched users.

    For a unsuccessful response, the JSON will also include an errors field, which will contain a human readable description of the error, such as "errors": "Permission denied"

    The JSON will also include counts of the results and a range of navigation links to the various pages, unless the requester is the user themselves, then it will only show the users details.

    Client Validation/Two Factor Authentication(2FA) system.

    This system is a simple REST interface to send and validate Two Factor Authentication codes.

    The 2FA codes can be sent via SMS, Email or Text To Speech messages. By default, codes are valid for up to 30 minutes after sending (but can be set as valid up to 5 hours), and any code sent in this window will be accepted, so if the user sends one code to their phone and another to their email, either code will work

    This feature is comprised of two functions: sendCode, and validateCode outlined below.


    Send 2FA Code

    To initiate a 2FA message send, Either POST an appropriate json block to https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/client_verification/sendCode with content type = application/json and the basic authentication header

    Or you can send a simple GET query with the parameters as part of the URL. The basic authentication header is required.

    Request fields

    Field Type Required Description
    client_ref String Yes A unique reference for this client. This will be matched in the validateCode step to identify the user.
    message_type String Yes One of sms, email or tts.
    message_destination String Yes For SMS, this should be a valid international mobile number, including the country code. eg 61987654321.
    For Email, this should be a valid email address.
    For TTS, this should be a valid international phone number, including the country code. eg 61987654321.
    message_template String Dependent A template of the message to be sent, including the string [[code]] in the place where the generated code will be inserted.
    eg. Your verification code to log into TEST COMPANY is [[code]]
    This field OR company_name is required.
    company_name String Dependent If message_template is not provided, a company_name is required to be inserted into the default template:
    Your [[company_name]] verification code is [[code]]

    Response

    The response will be a Json object with a status element and a data or errors element. The status element reflects the HTTP status, so 200 for success or 4xx/5xx for an error.

    On success, the data element will contain the string message sent, or if the result is an error, then the errors element will contain an array of the error messages.

    Validate 2FA Code

    To validate a users entered 2FA code, either POST an appropriate json block to https://api.welcorp.com/api/v1/client_verification/validateCode with content type = application/json and the basic authentication header

    Or you can send a simple GET query with the parameters as part of the URL. The basic authentication header is required.

    Request fields

    Field Type Required Description
    client_ref String Yes The unique reference for this client used when sending the 2FA request.
    entered_code String Yes The code entered by the user to be compared to the one sent earlier by the sendCode function.
    validation_window Integer No The length of time in minutes that codes are valid to be used. This can be between 1 minutes and 120 minutes. Default value is 10 minutes

    Response

    The response will be a Json object with a status element and a data or errors element. The status element reflects the HTTP status, so 200 for success or 4xx/5xx for an error.

    If there are no errors, the data element will contain the string valid, or invalid depending on if the right code was entered. If the result is an error, then the errors element will contain an array of the error messages.
