API Introduction
The Engage API lets you interact with data and resources through REST. The API accepts requests in JSON format, returns responses in JSON and uses standard HTTP for authentication, methods and response codes.
Authentication
Authentication is via HTTP Basic Authentication using your API key as username and API secret as password. You can view and manage these keys in the settings page of your account dashboard. On some endpoints, you can use just your API key (as username) and leave the secret empty. This makes it possible to call such endpoints from client-side applications. Endpoints that support this are marked with “works with username authentication”.
Versioning
The current API version is v1.

Errors
Errors are returned with standard HTTP status codes. Error responses will come with additional body in the format:
{"error": "More details about error"}
Pagination
The API uses cursor-based pagination. This means that for endpoints that require pagination, you can use the id available in each item object as a pointer to get datasets before or after the id. To get the dataset before the specified id, make a request with a before_id parameter set to the id. To get the dataset after the specified id, use after_id. You can only use one of before_id and after_if in a request.
These endpoints also return a has_more value that is either true or false. true means there are more datasets that can be requested. false means otherwise. If none of after_id or before_id parameter is passed, true will mean that, there are more datasets after the last item in the returned dataset. Same with if after_id is passed. If before_id is passed, true will mean that there are more datasets before the first item in the returned dataset.
