Rudder API
Download OpenAPI specification: openapi.yml # Introduction Rudder exposes a REST API, enabling the user to interact with Rudder without using the webapp, for example in scripts or cronjobs. ## Versioning Each time the API is extended with new features (new functions, new parameters, new responses, ...), it will be assigned a new version number. This will allow you to keep your existing scripts (based on previous behavior). Versions will always be integers (no 2.1 or 3.3, just 2, 3, 4, ...) or `latest`. You can change the version of the API used by setting it either within the url or in a header: * the URL: each URL is prefixed by its version id, like `/api/version/function`. ```bash # Version 10 curl -X GET -H "X-API-Token: yourToken" https://rudder.example.com/rudder/api/10/rules # Latest curl -X GET -H "X-API-Token: yourToken" https://rudder.example.com/rudder/api/latest/rules # Wrong (not an integer) => 404 not found curl -X GET -H "X-API-Token: yourToken" https://rudder.example.com/rudder/api/3.14/rules ``` * the HTTP headers. You can add the **X-API-Version** header to your request. The value needs to be an integer or `latest`. ```bash # Version 10 curl -X GET -H "X-API-Token:
Plan the first integration safely
The access fields below come from the connected directory. Their likely implementation impact is explained without assuming provider-specific behavior.
Authentication
OAuth is reported. Confirm flows, scopes, consent, token lifetime, and refresh rules.
Transport
HTTPS is not confirmed. Do not send credentials or production data until secure transport is verified.
Browser access
CORS is unknown. Treat direct browser access as unconfirmed and test before choosing a client-only architecture.
First-request sequence
- Identify the current base URL, version, and endpoint for the use case.
- Confirm how credentials are issued and where they may be stored.
- Test success, invalid input, throttling, unavailable data, and timeouts.
- Record response fields, pagination, caching, and error shapes.
- Add monitoring, retries with backoff, and an appropriate fallback.
Questions to resolve before production
Pricing and quotas
Confirm current plans, free-tier limits, overages, and request ceilings.
Endpoint coverage
Check that the operations and response fields match the intended workload.
Reliability
Look for uptime history, a status page, support routes, and service commitments.
Data and privacy
Review retention, licensing, regional processing, and compliance requirements.
Versioning
Confirm the active version, change policy, deprecation window, and migration guidance.
Developer experience
Validate SDKs, examples, error formats, pagination, and test environments.
