Activity API

Learn how to access your team performance data using our Activity API

Lexer's Activity API allows you to query and export team performance and conversation data to automate your reporting. Our API supports two types of requests; Get and Post requests.

Get requests allow you to access the user, groups and forms data.
Post requests allow you to run queries to return team and conversation data.

Authentication with API Tokens

You will need an API token to access your Activity data. API Tokens are managed within Integrate, and require Manager (Edit Team) permission to create and update. All endpoints require an API token to authenticate your requests.

API tokens can only be viewed once when created. If you misplace your token you can either reset the token or generate a new one. We suggest creating a new API token for each application or use case. As rate limits are token specific, this will prevent multiple applications from impacting each other.

Users

Retrieve a list of users that have access to your Lexer account. You can use these user details to filter any of the Activity queries for agent specific metrics.

Errors

The API may return the following error codes.

Code	Type	Description
400	Invalid report - date range is too long	Your date range must be not greater than 12 months
400	Invalid report - starting date is a future date	Starting date must be in the past
400	Invalid report - invalid type	Chart type provided is invalid
401	Unauthorized - api token not matching	Your API token provided is not valid
401	Unauthorized	Missing authentication data
404	Not found	General error for malformed request
429	Rate limited exceeded	You’re making too many requests

Rate limiting

The API may rate limit requests made by your application. Our rate limits are managed by an allowed number of requests per time window. A single request could be to retrieve a list of users, or query a particular chart endpoint.

The rate limit is 100 requests per 5 minutes per API Token.

In the case you are rate limited a “429 Rate limited exceeded” response will be returned.

That's a wrap

That's it for our Activity API! If you get stuck, try following the steps above and please don't hesitate to reach out to Lexer Support using the chatbot in the bottom right of the page.
