  title: Instasent product Automation API
  description: '### Overview

    The Instasent Product API provides a comprehensive set of tools for managing **organizations** and **projects** within the Instasent platform. This API is designed to help businesses organize customer data, manage team permissions, and set up projects for targeted marketing and customer engagement. ### What is the Product API? The Product API is Instasent''s primary management API for high-level entities and operations. It provides comprehensive tools for managing your organization''s customer data platform, from initial setup to ongoing operations. > **NOTE**:

    > - To access the Product API you need a Product Token and your Project UID, you can get them in your project settings. **Core Purpose**: The Product API enables you to:

    - **Manage Organizations & Projects**: View organization information, create and configure projects, and manage project-level settings

    - **Configure Data Sources**: Create and manage API data sources that serve as entry points for customer data

    - **Access Unified Audience Data**: Query, search, and retrieve contacts from your project''s unified audience, where data from multiple sources is automatically merged

    - **Track Customer Events**: Search and analyze customer interaction events to understand behavior patterns

    - **Manage Segments**: View and work with audience segments for targeted marketing

    - **Monitor Campaigns & Automations**: Access campaign and automation details, configurations, and status

    - **Send Direct Messages**: Create and send direct SMS messages to audience contacts, and manage SMS senders

    - **Ingest Data**: Push contacts and events to data sources via the Ingest API (integrated into the Product API)


    **Key Entities**:

    - **Organizations**: Represent companies using Instasent. Each organization has its own settings, billing information, user accounts, and API tokens. Organizations can contain multiple projects. - **Projects**: Isolated environments within an organization where customer data, contacts, events, segments, campaigns, and automations are managed. Projects allow you to organize different brands, customer segments, or marketing initiatives separately. - **Data Sources**: Collections of contacts and events that feed into a project. Multiple data sources can contribute to a single project''s unified audience. - **Contacts**: Individual records representing customers, leads, or audience members. Contacts from different data sources are automatically merged into a unified `Audience Contact` when they share matching unique identifiers. - **Events**: Immutable records of customer interactions, such as purchases, page views, email opens, or any custom activity. Events enrich contact profiles and can trigger automations. ### Key Features and Benefits

    The Product API empowers organizations by providing comprehensive tools for customer data management and marketing automation:


    1. **Data Ingestion & Management**:

    - Create and manage API data sources for ingesting contacts and events

    - Push contacts and events to data sources via the Ingest API

    - View datasource statistics and stream specifications

    - Delete contacts from data sources when needed


    2. **Unified Audience Management**:

    - Access a project''s unified audience where contacts from multiple data sources are automatically merged

    - Search and filter contacts using powerful QueryFilter syntax

    - Scroll through large contact lists with cursor-based pagination

    - Retrieve contacts by ID, user identifier, phone number, or email address

    - View contact events and interaction history


    3. **Event Tracking & Analysis**:

    - Search and filter audience events using the Event Filtering system

    - Scroll through event history with pagination support

    - Access event data to understand customer behavior and interactions


    4. **Segmentation & Targeting**:

    - View and manage audience segments (static and dynamic)

    - Scroll contacts within specific segments

    - Use segments for targeted marketing campaigns

        **Required Scope**: `PROJECT_AUTOMATION_READ`


        **Query Parameters**: Supports Query String Filtering parameters:

        - Filtering: Use `field_operator=value` format (e.g., `status_eq=active`, `purpose_eq=automation`, `createdAt_gte=2024-01-01T00:00:00+00:00`)

        - Sorting: Use `_sort=field:direction` format (e.g., `_sort=createdAt:asc`, `_sort=updatedAt:desc`). Defaults to `createdAt:desc` if no sort is specified

        - Pagination: Use `_start=0&_limit=50` format. **Important**: When using `_limit`, you must also provide `_start`

        - JSON QueryFilter: Use `_q` parameter with JSON structure

      description: 'OAuth 2.1 Authorization Code flow with PKCE, for applications that act in a

        user''s name instead of using a token the user pasted. The resulting access

        token is an ordinary Product API bearer token (`isoa_` prefix) with a

        24-hour lifetime, refreshed through `POST /oauth/token`.


        Register the client first with `POST /oauth/register`, or use a `client_id`

        issued by Instasent. PKCE is mandatory and only `S256` is accepted; there is

        no client secret. Discover these URLs at runtime from

        `/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server` rather than hard-coding them. All

        three are on this API host; the authorization URL is a browser redirect that

        hands the user to the dashboard''s consent screen.


        The scopes below are the same product permissions the API returns in

        `GET /` and the dashboard shows when creating a token. Which of them a

        client may be granted depends on its lane: MCP clients are limited to a

        curated, agent-safe subset, while API clients may be offered the full set.

        The final grant is always intersected with the authorizing user''s roles and

        the organization''s plan.
