Introduction
The Voxio Chat API follows RESTful architecture standards, offering clear and consistent resource-based endpoints. All requests and responses are transmitted in JSON format, leveraging standard HTTP verbs, status codes, and authentication protocols to enable secure, efficient, and scalable integrations.
API Base URL
Please note that Voxio Chat does not provide a sandbox or test environment. All API requests are processed in the live environment, so ensure that all request data and parameters are accurate before making any calls.
https://www.voxio.chat/external-api
Authentication
All requests to the Voxio Chat API require authentication. Each API request must include a valid client-id and client-secret to the request header, which can be obtained from your Voxio Chat Dashboard under Developer Tools.
In addition to credentials, Voxio Chat enforces IP-based security. You must register and enable your server’s public IP address in the IP Whitelist section of the dashboard. Requests originating from non-whitelisted IP addresses will be automatically rejected.
Both valid API credentials and an approved IP address are mandatory. Without completing these two steps, authentication will fail and API access will not be granted.
Response Format
All responses from the Voxio Chat API are returned in JSON format. Each response follows a consistent structure and includes a status indicator, message, and relevant data payload when applicable. Standard HTTP status codes are used to represent the outcome of each request.
Sample Success Response
{
"status": "success",
"remark": "contact-list",
"message":[
"Contact data fetched successfully."
],
"data": {
...you get all data here
}
}
Error Sample Response
{
"remark": "Unauthorized",
"status": "error",
"message": [
"The client secret is required"
]
}
{
"remark": "Unauthorized",
"status": "error",
"message": [
"Access to this API endpoint is restricted to IP addresses that have been explicitly whitelisted.",
"In order to access this API endpoint, please add your IP address (::1) to the white list from the user dashboard."
]
}
