Introduction
In this guide, you will use the Cyclr API to call a connector method. Cyclr will act as a proxy and pass your request to the external application.
Before you start, make sure you have created an end user account and authenticated a connector.
Account Access Token
You need to have a valid Account access token to make API calls on your user’s behalf.
For more information on getting access tokens, please see API Authentication.
Get Account Connectors
Let’s get a list of installed account connectors from your account so Cyclr knows which account connector you want to make the request with.
Request:
GET https://yourCyclrInstance/v1.0/account/connectors
Authorization: Bearer ****************************************************************
Response:
[
{
"Id": 123,
"Name": "Salesforce Account 1",
"Description": "",
"Connector": {
"Id": 1,
"Name": "Salesforce"
}
},
{
"Id": 456,
"Name": "Salesforce Account 2",
"Description": "",
"Connector": {
"Id": 1,
"Name": "Salesforce"
}
}
]
In the response, 123 is an account connector ID. 1 is the ID for the underlying connector.
Call a Connector Method
You can now call a connector method and get the raw response from the third-party application.
Each method in Cyclr has a unique external ID. You can get a list of methods with their unique identifiers using https://yourCyclrInstance/v1.0/connectors/{Connector ID}/methods. Connector ID here is not the ID for your account connector instance (123 in the sample response above), but the ID for the underlying connector (1 in the sample response above).
Request
GET https://yourCyclrInstance/v1.0/account/connectors/{account connector ID}/methods/{method ID}
Authorization: Bearer ****************************************************************
Response
{
"records": [{
"Id": "1001",
"FirstName": "John",
"LastName": "Smith",
"Name": "John Smith",
"Email": "johnsmith@example.com"
},
{
"Id": "1002",
"FirstName": "Jane",
"LastName": "Doe",
"Name": "Jane Doe",
"Email": "janedoe@example.com"
}
]
}
If the method you are calling requires any field or parameter to be passed to the third-party application, they should be included in your request body.
Request
POST https://yourCyclrInstance/v1.0/account/connectors/{account connector ID}/methods/{method ID}
Authorization: Bearer ****************************************************************
