ESPER API REFERENCE (1.0.0)

Introduction

Welcome to Esper’s API documentation. The Esper API allows users to accomplish operations outside of the console. Some common uses for our APIs include observing device information and console activity, installing and updating apps, uploading files, and sending files to devices. Our users have also used the API to automate app updates, perform bulk actions, and more.

Esper API endpoints use REST-based architecture and return JSON responses.

See our documentation for:

Authentication

You need to create an API Key to interact with our APIs. Learn more about generating an API Key. You can also learn more about Esper and sign up for an account at esper.io/signup.

Some endpoints also require an Enterprise ID. This ID can be found in the API Management section of the Esper console.

Pagination

Responses may be paginated. Use the following parameters to query the data. A full list of parameters can be found on the endpoint’s documentation page.

ParameterData TypeExplanation
limitintegerLimit the data returned. Default = 20.
offsetintegerOffset to the first item returned. Default = 0.
orderingstringOrder the results set by the field name. Varies by endpoint.
nextstringPaginate to the next response set.
previousstringPaginate to the last set response.

Errors

We use standard HTTP status codes for success or failure. A typical error response may look something like this:

{
  "errors": [],
  "message": "error message",
  "status": 400
}
  • errors - List of error details
  • message - Error description
  • status - HTTP status code

Some common status codes and messages are:

NumberMessageExplanation
200OKThe request succeeded.
201Resource creationA resource was created.
401UnauthorizedThe API key is invalid.
404Not foundThe resource was not found.
429Rate limit exceededToo many requests. Wait a moment and try again.
500Server errorInternal error. Wait a moment and try again. If the issue persists, contact Esper.

See how our systems are doing by checking our status page.

Rate Limits

To ensure quality of service for all customers, we enforce rate limits for API requests. Most customers won’t hit this limit with normal use. In case you experience 429 or rate limit exceeded errors, we recommend the following:

  • Try sending requests in batches.
  • Begin with about 20 requests at a time and building up from there.
  • Ensure your scripts are efficient and don’t contain redundant calls.
  • Reach out to your account manager to discuss your options.
