Sirportly provides an API providing access to all the data stored within your account. Primarily, this API is used for managing ticket data however you can also retrieve lists of other meta objects (such as statuses, priorities etc...). This document outlines all the methods which are available with example output as well as which parameters can be passed to them.

API Endpoint

If you are using the hosted/cloud version of Sirportly, you should send all your API requests to https://api.sirportly.com. This request must be made using HTTPS.

If you have the downloaded version, you should just send requests to the domain where you have installed Sirportly. The choice of HTTP/HTTPS depends on the configuration of your local web server.

Logging Requests

From the API Access area of the admin interface, you can enable or disable logging of requests. If logging is enabled, each request you make to the API using the token will be logged. The log will store various properties including the user agent, remote IP address, hostname & path requested as well as the parameters sent and, if enabled, the response the API provided.

We strongly recommend that this is disabled in any production applications and should only be used to help with development.
