In this section we help you get started with our API. You can always return here whenever you need a refresher. You can also use it for reference when going over our case studies.

Before you begin

To use the GetResponse API, you should have experience working with RESTful APIs. You don’t have to be a formally-trained developer or engineer, but you do need to feel comfortable working with custom API solutions.

If you don’t have a passion for these things, don’t worry. There is a way that doesn’t involve using our API directly. Search our integrations directory for a plugin or integration that you can use.

What you’ll need

• A GetResponse account
• The API key generated for the account (see Authentication)
• A tool that allows you to make HTTP requests, such as Postman

Now, let’s go over the things you should know before getting started!

API endpoint

There are 3 different URLs for the GetResponse APIv3:

• https://api.getresponse.com/v3/ - for all customers except GetResponse MAX
• https://api3.getresponse360.com/v3/ - for GetResponse MAX customers
• https://api3.getresponse360.pl/v3/ - for GetResponse MAX customers

Note: GetResponse MAX customers should contact their Account Managers to find out which of the two GetResponse MAX endpoints they should use.

Headers

Request

Authentication

All APIv3 requests require an authentication header corresponding to the selected authentication method:

• X-Auth-Token for API key-based authentication
• Authorization
  • Basic to get or refresh a token in selected OAuth requests
  • Bearer for OAuth token authenticated requests

Authentication errors return as the HTTP status code 401 and authorization errors as the HTTP status code 403.

Content-Type

POST requests require the Content-Type header to be set to application/json.

X-Domain

The X-Domain header is required only for GetResponse MAX customers. It should not be used by other customers.

If required, the X-Domain header must be set to the domain associated with the given GetResponse MAX account, e.g. X-Domain: example.com. It must not contain the www. prefix or the URI scheme (such as http://).

Response

Throttling

Please refer to the Limits and throttling documentation for more information.

Pagination

Paginated resources are returned with the following custom headers:

• CurrentPage - current page
• TotalPages - total pages
• TotalCount - the total number of resources found for the specified conditions

Identifiers - IDs

All resource identifiers used in the API are string values, not numbers.

Support

API Support is provided through the DevZone support channel. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any problems or questions. Be sure to include the request and response data, including the headers.
