Reporting API v1.0

Our Reporting API is used for extracting data and metrics from your ContentKing account. Typical use-cases include connecting several software solutions together to streamline your reporting tasks and integrating ContentKing in your client portal.

This support article covers the legacy Reporting API v1.0. While the legacy Reporting API v1.0 remains available at this moment, it does not support new endpoints and will likely be sunsetted in the future. Therefore we highly recommend using the Reporting API v2.0.

If you are already using the Reporting API v1.0, we recommend you to migrate to v2.0 using the migration guide below.

Migration guide

This guide will help you migrate from the legacy Reporting API v1.0 to the Reporting API v2.0.

Response shape

The payload in the response body has been moved one level lower at all endpoints, under the key data.

{
	"data": <payload>
}

Endpoints mapping

All request variables (e.g. <website_id>) are now passed as regular query parameters (e.g. ?website_id=<website_id>).

Send the following request to get list of pages for a specific website issue:

GET /v1/websites/<website_id>/issues/<issue>/pages?page=1&per_page=100

Pagination

  • per_page can be in range from 1 to 500

Rate limits

Rate limits define the maximum number of requests which can be made in a given time range.

ContentKing’s Reporting API has the following rate limits:

  • 6 requests/second/requester IP address
  • When the limit is hit the API returns a 429 status code for 1 minute

The Reporting API uses rate limits to ensure API request traffic can be handled efficiently.
