BoxHero API Reference

BoxHero API can be used for retrieving data from outside the app.

Endpoint

https://rest.boxhero-app.com

Request Example

curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://rest.boxhero-app.com/v1/products?location_ids=12345&location_ids=34567&limit=100' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer test-api-token-123'

Authorization

In the [Settings] - [Integrations & API] menu, you can issue a new API token. All API requests should have Authorization header as a Bearer {API token}.

Rate limits

We rate limit the API requests as follows.

• 5 queries per second for each endpoint.

Once you are rate limited, the response will be an error message with the following additional information.

• X-Ratelimit-Limit - Maximum queries per minute

• X-Ratelimit-Remaining - Remaining queries

• X-Ratelimit-Reset - Time to remaining query count reset (in seconds)

Response

Successes

Any response with an HTTP status code within the 200 range means that the API is processed successfully.

Errors

A response with an HTTP status code in the 400 or 500 range means that the request failed to be processed.

• 400 range: error due to information provided with the request (ex: missing a required parameter).

• 500 range: error due to a problem associated with the server.

When an error occurs, expect the following response.

{
  "id": "ex_ku3gij67k9xzc8ef6r5esyu5",
  "type": "/errors/tokens/invalid",
  "title": "Authentication token is invalid. Please provide a valid token.",
  "correlation_id": "rq_z4g7dh55ykol7v2cx6homkpd",
  "given": "invalid-token-123"
}

• id : A unique ID to identify the error.

• type : A code in the form of a URL that identifies the type of error.

• title : Provide the contents of the error in human-readable form.

• correlation_id : Points to the ID of the request associated with the error.

• others : Additional fields may be included to provide additional information, such as "given" in the example.

Common Error Types
