Welcome to the CXone Expert API reference documentation! This guide is your starting point to begin leveraging the CXone Expert API to create advanced content integrations, automate workflows, and download analytics data. The migration of API documentation from the previous guide to this location is an ongoing effort. You are welcome to browse the old API Calls guide, in the event that the API endpoints or use cases you are looking for are not yet migrated.

Introduction

MindTouch provides out of the box, easily configurable, integrations in the form of Touchpoints. Touchpoints extend your content into other web applications, CRM's, or websites. However, the MindTouch API can integrate with applications and systems without a web presentation, such as voice assistants and IoT devices. In addition, integrations with publishing automation systems, user management, and translation management systems can be desirable when MindTouch becomes a critical piece of your organization's business.

These types of integrations typically require more complexity and application programming skills. While the MindTouch API can be easily used to quickly fetch or update content on the fly, it's value is realized when integrations unlock the ability to extend MindTouch functionality into key parts of an organization.

Do you have further questions? Try consulting the MindTouch API FAQ.

Getting Started

The MindTouch API is organized around REST, and is located at the /@api/deki relative URL on a MindTouch site.

https://example.com/@api/deki

Every resource on the MindTouch site (pages, users, groups, etc.) is available through the API. Authenticated MindTouch site users can access the API, through the web browser, once they have signed into the MindTouch site. System and application integrations require the use of API Tokens to access the API.

HTTPS

MindTouch API communication is secured with HTTPS. It can be accessed privately and securely by HTTPS compatible clients such as a web browser. The MindTouch API domain (a MindTouch site domain) and any additional domains that are required for integrations must be trusted by the HTTPS compatible client or integration. In order to avoid disruptions when SSL/TLS certificates are rotated for these domains, it is highly recommended to trust certificate authority (CA) root and intermediate certificates, as opposed to the domain's server certificate.

In addition to the MindTouch site domain, integrations with the MindTouch API rely on HTTPS communication with the following domains:

*.cloudfront.net
files.mtstatic.com

Responses

The default HTTP response content type is application/xml; charset=utf-8, but an application/json; charset=utf-8 response is possible if API requests include a dream.out.format=json HTTP query parameter.

// XML-encoded response
https://example.com/@api/deki/pages/{id}/info

// JSON-encoded response
https://example.com/@api/deki/pages/{id}/info?dream.out.format=json

Some API endpoints may, by default, respond with a application/json; charset=utf-8 media type or an alternative media type. These defaults are noted in the documentation for those specific API endpoints.

Status Codes

MindTouch uses conventional HTTP response status codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. Status codes in the 2xx range indicate successful requests. Status codes in the 4xx range indicate a problem with the request such as a missing URL query parameter or invalid HTTP body format. Status codes in the 5xx range indicate an unexpected, internal problem with the MindTouch API and can be reported to the MindTouch Support Team.

On rare occasions, an API endpoint is deprecated and removed. If it is replaced with a new endpoint, under most circumstances, the old endpoint will redirect to the new endpoint. In order for backward compatibility to be maintained, it is important that API clients follow the Location HTTP Header, if a 3xx range status code is returned in an HTTP response.

Name	Value	Description
OK	200	The request was processed and completed successfully
Accepted	201	The request was accepted successfully and will be processed in a queue
Non-Authoritative Information	203	The request was accepted, however, due to processing errors, the response contains partially complete data
Moved Permanently	301	The API endpoint was deprecated and replaced with a new location
Found	302	After processing the request, the resource to be returned is located at different URL
Bad Request	400	Invalid or missing request URL query parameter, invalid HTTP body format, or invalid or missing HTTP body parameter value
Unauthorized	401	A request to the authentication API endpoint failed
Forbidden	403	The requested resource is not accessible to due to a permission check or invalid authorization
Not Found	404	The requested resource could not be found
Gone	410	The API endpoint was deprecated and was not replaced with a new location

Errors

There are two possible error response formats that can be received from the MindTouch API. The use of these formats varies between errors and API endpoints, therefore your API integration must be developed to handle both formats. Some response fields have been removed from these examples, as they contain internal MindTouch metadata that is irrelevant to API integrations.

Default Error Format

<error>
    <exception>{exception}</exception>
    <message>{message}</message>
</error>

Legacy Error Format (Deprecated)

<error>
    <status>{status}</status>
    <title>{title}</title>
    <message>{message}</message>
    <uri>{uri}</uri>
</error>

Name	Type	Description
{exception}	string	A unique, namespaced key that identifies the error
{message}	string	The description of the error or explanation of the problem
{status}	int	The HTTP status code (ex: 400)
{title}	string	The HTTP status name (ex: Bad Request)
{uri}	string	The API endpoint URL

Authorization

The MindTouch API can receive three types of tokens to allow access to MindTouch site data.

Auth Token

Browser API Token

Browser API Tokens are sent from a website, web application, or simply anything that runs in a web browser to the MindTouch API. Implementations with Browser API Tokens are written in web browser executable languages such as JavaScript.

Normally, web browsers such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox do not allow JavaScript applications running on one website to access data from another. Browsers block cross-origin requests and responses due to the security issues it can cause, especially if one website's JavaScript application uses the cookies of another website to impersonate a user's identity for nefarious purposes. However, a website can declare which third party websites can securely access its data using Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). Browser API Tokens allow developers to implement CORS in a safe and secure manner. In addition to CORS, Browser API Tokens also allow same origin API access from JavaScript executed in content on a MindTouch site to the same site's API.

A Browser API Token has no specific user permissions for the API to determine which operations are or aren't allowed. User permissions are determined by the web browser session's authtoken HTTP cookie. If the user accessing the integration has not signed in to the MindTouch site, then the API considers the user to be an anonymous user

Server API Token

Server API Tokens are used to create integrations between a server application, IoT, bots, or anything that can communicate over HTTPS, and the MindTouch API. Implementations with Server API Tokens are typically written in server executed languages such as C#, Java, JavaScript (Node.js), Python, Go, and PHP. The token consists of a key and a secret which are used to sign API requests, allowing valid requests through and rejecting invalid or expired requests. The token secret is meant to be kept in a secure place, and should never be shared or sent across the internet in plain text.

OAuth API Token

While Server API Tokens provide a developer with the ability to connect applications and devices to the MindTouch API with unlimited permissions, under some scenarios this level of access control is inappropriate for a developer. Examples include integrations between the MindTouch API and a third-party service, on behalf of the organization deploying MindTouch. By implementing OAuth 2.0 authorization flows, OAuth API Tokens allow MindTouch users to authorize which applications or devices can access their MindTouch user identities and allowed operations such as reading and writing content. OAuth API Tokens can be safely given to third-party developers, without the concern of handing over MindTouch site administrator access.

Core Resources

MindTouch API core resources are very common platform objects such as pages, files, users, and groups. These core resources appear in request and response HTTP messages across many different API endpoints. Consistent XML and JSON data representations of these resources allow for API integrations to contain reusable code to handle this data.

Not every possible API resource is considered a core resource. Some API endpoints accept and return resource data that are not common across the broader API endpoint collection.

Page

Page resources are the most common resource in the MindTouch API.

Page Types

Existing Page

Existing pages, including unpublished pages with content under preparation as drafts and deleted pages that have not yet been purged from the archive, are pages that are found in the page hierarchy. Pages include all Guided Content Framework page types such as Categories, Guides, Topics, and References.

<page id="{id}"
      guid="{guid}"
      draft.state="{draft.state}"
      href="https://{hostname}/@api/deki/pages/{id}?redirects=0"
      deleted="{deleted}"
      revision="{revision">
    <uri.ui>https://{hostname}/{path}</uri.ui>
    <title>{title}</title>   
    <path seo="{seo}" type="{path/@type}">{path}</path>
    <namespace>{namespace}</namespace>
    <date.created>{date.created}</date.created>
    <language>{language}</language>
</page>

Virtual Page

Virtual pages are placeholder locations in the page hierarchy where a page has not yet been created.

<page id="0"
      guid="00000000000000000000000000000000"
      virtual="true"
      draft.state="inactive"
      href="https://{hostname}/@api/deki/pages/0?redirects=0"
      deleted="false">
    <uri.ui>https://{hostname}/{path}</uri.ui>
    <title>{title}</title>
    <path seo="{seo}">{path}</path>
    <namespace>{namespace}</namespace>
    <date.created>1970-01-01T00:00:00Z</date.created>
    <language>{language}</language>
    {security}
    {page.parent}
</page>

Redirect Page

Redirect pages are existing pages that point to a different page in the page hierarchy or an external URL.

<page id="{id}"
      guid="00000000000000000000000000000000"
      redirect="true"
      draft.state="inactive"
      href="https://{hostname}/@api/deki/pages/{id}?redirects=0"
      deleted="false"
      revision="{revision}"
      type="{page/@type}">
    <uri.ui>https://{hostname}/{path}</uri.ui>
    <title>{title}</title>
    <path seo="{seo}">{path}</path>
    <namespace>{namespace}</namespace>
    <date.created>1970-01-01T00:00:00Z</date.created>
    <language>{language}</language>
    
    <!-- page.redirectedto is available when page/@type = "internal-redirect" -->
    {page.redirectedto}
    
    <!-- uri.redirectedto is available when page/@type = "external-redirect" -->
    <uri.redirectedto>{uri.redirectedto}</uri.redirectedto>
</page>

Retrieving Pages

A local page id or global page id (guid) can be used to retrieve page resource data from the Expert API. They can also be used to create links that resolve and redirect to the page content in the Expert user interface.

This example HTML will create contextual help links to the KCS Methodology guide. Hover over the links to view the target page id or guid.

Follow this page id

Follow this page guid

<!-- resolve and redirect to a page using a local page id -->
<a class="F1" href="https://{hostname}/@go/page/{id}">Follow this page id</a>

<!-- resolve and redirect to a page using a page guid -->
<a class="F1" href="https://{hostname}/@go/page/:{guid}">Follow this page guid</a>

Page Content

A known custom header starting with X-Deki is always required for retrieving and updating content with the content type of text/plain. An opaque header X-Deki-CSRFcan also be used.

Retrieve

$ curl --header 'X-Deki-Token: {signature}' https://{hostname}/@api/deki/site/pages/{id}/contents

Response

The body of the response is html encoded and needs to be decoded for a page content for content type text/plain. Alternatively, a content type of application/xml could be used on the POST request with this response.

<content revision="56" type="text/html" title="X-15"><body> &lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt; </body><body target="toc">&lt;em&gt;No headers&lt;/em&gt;</body></content>

Updating

$ curl --request POST --header 'X-Deki-Token: {signature}' --header 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8' https://{hostname}/@api/deki/site/pages/{id}/contents?edittime=now --data {body}

Knowledge Management

API endpoints for content creation, management, and retrieval.

Export and Import Content

Many knowledge management use cases, such as Content Translation, can be automated through the use of Job API endpoints to export and import content. These endpoints can start content import and export jobs, cancel jobs, and check the status of in-progress jobs. Content import and export requests are sent to a background queue to be processed when resources are available to handle the job. Since concurrent content imports and exports can be stressful on systems during high load, the job queue handles tasks with the following rules:

There are no limits on the number of concurrent export jobs that can run per site. However, an export cannot start if an import is in progress.
Only one content import job can run concurrently per site.

Completed, failed, or canceled jobs can optionally trigger a notification to be sent to either an email address or a webhook.
