Responses (Insights Stats API)

All requests to Insights Stats API endpoints return standard HTTP headers, including the response status code, and a response body in JSON format.

Success response code and parameters

Successful requests return a 200 Success code with a JSON object in the response body.

Responses from endpoints that can return multiple resources contain a meta item in the response body. The meta item appears at the start of the response and contains the following parameters:

• page. The current requested page.
• count. The count of the items returned for a specific request. If we have the same or more as the limit the value matches the same value.
• pageCount. The number of pages that result from the specified limit.
• totalCount. The total number of items that we can retrieve from the API.

{
  "meta": {
    "page": 1,
    "count": 25,
    "pageCount": 8,
    "totalCount": 200
  },
  "items": [
    ...
  ],
  "upTo": "2019-12-19T14:18:32.395Z"
}

The response body also contains the upTo parameter. The upTo parameter appears at the end of the response, and represents the time of the request. This time is useful if you are polling the API as you know exactly when the previous request retrieved data from Vonage Contact Center.

Response codes and errors

HTTP headers include:

HTTP/1.1 CODE MESSAGE
Cache-Control: max-age=5, must-revalidate, private

The response body contains either the requested information or an error message:

{
    "message":"MESSAGE"
}

Errors are returned using standard HTTP error code syntax, such as 400 Bad Request. Additional information is included in the body of the return call in JSON format, usually in the following format:

{
  "message": "Appropriate 400 error message"
}
