Quickstart

This guide will get you all set up and ready to use the API. We'll cover how to get started using our API client and how to make your first API request. We'll also look at where to go next to find all the information you need to take full advantage of our powerful REST API.

Choose your client

Before making your first API request, you need to pick which API client you will use. In addition to cURL HTTP requests, Deep Value offers clients for Python, and soon javascript. In the following example, you can see how to install the client.

# cURL is most likely already installed on your machine
curl --version

Making your first API request

After picking your preferred client, you are ready to make your first call to the API. Below, you can see how to send a GET request to the Conversations endpoint to get a list of all your conversations. In the cURL example, results are limited to ten conversations, the default page length for each client.

curl -G https://api.deepvalue.ie/v1/conversations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -d limit=10
