Qixol Promo Help > API and Integrations

 

Getting started

 

 

 

 

The Promo API is designed to be intuitive and quick to start using.  The Promo API exposes RESTful services, split based on the company type (production or evaluation/development) and for production companies is restricted by IP address.  All interactions with the API must provide a Services Interaction Key which tells the API which company the request is interacting with.

 

Requests made to the Promo API can use either JSON or XML, and the response will be provided in the same format as the request.

Viewing XML or JSON

 

To aid integration developers it is possible to view many of the Promo entities (Baskets, Products, Attributes, Promotions and more) as XML or JSON.  This can be useful to provide examples of how data will be returned from the Promo API services, or submitted to it.   To view the XML or JSON or an entity, select View XML or View JSON from the toolbar.

 

Note:  the View XML and View JSON toolbar buttons are only available where the setting Show Developer Tools is configured with a value of true.
