  title: Pulse Public Authentication Sync API 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"
