title: Pulse Public Authentication API
version: 1.0.1
description: "The Pulse API is targeted towards developers looking to automate tasks in Pulse. \n\n# Authentication\nAll endpoints in Pulse require authentication. Legacy endpoints require only a Private API Key, while all new endpoints incorporate JSON Web Tokens. \n\n**API Key**\nTo consume a Pulse endpoint using API Key authentication, :\n * Contact Pulse support at support@pulsesoftware.com to enable the Pulse Public API and issue your API key.\n * Pass the API key in the **'x-Api-Key'** header with each request.\n\nNote: It is recommended to use a User Private API key where possible, rather than the Application Private Key. When using a User API key, functionality will be restricted based on the role of the User for which the API key was generated. See API endpoint documentation for authorised roles. \n\n**JSON Web Token (JWT)**\nTo consume a Pulse endpoint using JWT authentication:\n * Contact Pulse support at support@pulsesoftware.com to enable the Pulse Public API and issue your API key.\n * Request a bearer token from /pulse/jwt, passing the API key in the **'x-Api-Key'** header with the request.\n * Pass the token issued in the **'Authorization'** header of all requests as **'bearer [token]'**\n\n**Note** Tokens will expire 60 minutes after being issued, at which point your application will need to request a new token.\n\n# Requests\nThe Pulse API follows REST principles. Data resources are accessed via standard HTTPS requests in UTF-8 format to an API endpoint. Where possible, Web API uses appropriate HTTP verbs for each action.\nHTTP Verbs:\n * **GET** Retrieves resources\n * **POST** Creates resources\n * **PUT** Changes and/or replaces resources or collections\n * **DELETE** Deletes resources\n\nThe Pulse API accepts the following ISO-8601 formats for date strings:\n * Date, Time, Timezone: e.g. \"2021-06-02T21:39:18+00:00\"\n * Date, Time: e.g. \"2021-06-02T21:39:18Z\"\n * Date: e.g. \"2021-06-02\"\n\n# Responses\nPulse API returns all response data as a JSON object. \n\n# Response Status Codes\nPulse API uses the following status codes:\n * **200** OK - Request succeeded. Result provided in response body.\n * **400** Bad Request - Malformed syntax. See message body for information.\n * **401** Unauthorised - Missing authentication (API Key or JWT).\n * **403** Forbidden - API user is not authorised to access requested resource.\n * **404** Not Found - Request resource does not exist.\n\n# Support\nContact support@pulsesoftware.com for any queries or issues related to this API\n"
