BeepQuest Api Documentation

Welcome to our Api documentation. Here you'll find all information on connecting, needed parameters and result information. We are always adding new functionality, if you have a request or issue, go to our main github repository. If you're not a BeepQuest subscription client, stop by our main web page to check out all the benefit of a tool like BeepQuest on supervision processes.

Initial Considerations

As a BeepQuest subscription client, you have the possibility to make use of your data on external systems, and also include information on our platform. On GH control panel, you'll have to configure or create 3 types or token depending on the information you need to access. These tokens are:

  • Application Tokens
  • Module Tokens
  • Visit Modules

You can create multiple token of each kind, and they identify the corresponding model on the platform.

We now review how can we create each type of token.

Application Tokens

These are the main identification token for our subscription, for creating it, go to General > API Configuration

ApplicationTokens

Press App Tokens button and then Create Token, a confirmation modal will appear on the button of the page, press Ok, and the Token will be created. You can copy the token to the clipboard from the corresponding button on the table.

ApplicationTokens

ApplicationTokens

ApplicationTokens

This token is required in all requests to our api, as BQAPPTOK.

Module Tokens

You'll need module tokens to query historical data on our API. For modules go to Content > Modules and search for your needed question engine module. Select edit and you'll see a colapsed panel called API

Visit Tokens

Lastly visit tokens are needed to query historical data on a visit level. For visits go to Visits > Visits and search for the needed visit and press edit button. Similarly you'll see an API panel where

Summary

All the information generated by question engine and visit processes is available to query through our API. Visits are composed by several question engine answers and you may need to query both endpoints to complete the information needed according to your requirements.

Remember that responses for your data depends on current configuration. Question Engine Modules have a series of fields of different types, and also on visits, they can have multiple different question engine answers as entry, exit and activities.

Question Engine Module Webhooks

Our API allows connecting via webhooks to the main data events on the platform, question-engine-answers and visits. For each of these models, you first need to subscribe your endpoint through API to receive notifications. When you don't need the hook anymore, you should unsubscribe via the corresponding endpoint.

Webhook creation to question-engine-answer events

For being able to receive notifications on the creation of question engine answers, you should use this endpoint. For registering a webhook you first need to know the corresponding id for the question engine module. You can get this id by querying the corresponding Get Question Engine Modules for subscription endpoint. This endpoint returns a field called secret you can use this to make sure you are reacting to the official BeepQuest webhook.

Get all webhooks registered to question engine

You can review status of all registered webhooks for any question engine. This way you can make sure it is active or review which ones you are not using anymore and delete them.

}

Visit Webhooks

You can connect via webhooks to visit answers events too. Endpoints are similar to question engine module ones. Remember you need to get the corresponding visit id first to subscribe.

Webhook creation to visit-answer events

For being able to receive notifications on the creation of visit answers, you should use this endpoint. For registering a webhook you first need to know the corresponding id for the visit. You can get this id by querying the corresponding Get Visits for Subscription endpoint. This endpoint returns a field called secret you can use this to make sure you are reacting to the official BeepQuest webhook. For this webhook subscription you need to specify the notification mode on the request parameters.

Note At this time, only exit notification is implemented, this means that your endpoint will be called after exit question engine on visit is completed.

Interaction with an ongoing question engine module answer

On this document we have reviewed mechanisms for querying, updating and connecting to certain events or data saved on BeepQuest. A Question Engine module being the main model for operation, has now the flexibility to include any external logic and complete data live on process. Here we describe information related for planning, configuring and testing an external communication with a question engine module.

General steps for using an external api on a question engine module

  1. Define parameters and result fields for the required functionality.
  2. Implement external logic and deploy
  3. Configure question engine module and external api
  4. Test configured question engine on mobile application.

Configuration on Panel

Go to the question engine module edit form for the module you want to integrate this functionality on. you should see a new panel called Api en Modulo.

ApiInModule

Click on New API button and then on edit button for the created configuration. You should see ui for all the configuration. The main config is the verb and the endpoint.

ApiInModule

On the first tab you can configure static headers you need. Then you can configure on the body tab, all the parameters you want to send from the current question engine answer been filled up.

ApiInModule

Finally on the return tab, you can configure as an action currently implemented the processing of the api response into fields on the current answer.

ApiInModule

Technical considerations

  • Api Requests to external endpoints are processed as Content-Type: application/json. All requests processed by BeepQuest include this header.
  • For processing returned data, response should be handled with http status code 200, otherwise an error will appear on the mobile application.
