At a high level, the Push API provides a programmatic mechanism for pushing data from one or more sources to be integrated into one of the two Higher Logic platforms:

• Higher Logic Thrive Marketing Professional (Thrive Marketing Professional)
• Higher Logic Thrive Community (Thrive Community).

Form an API call

With the exception of the /list endpoint, each object in the array should contain the full data of the record. For example, by not adding contact groups, a contact should remain in for /contactinfo, with the expectation being that they will be removed from the groups that weren't included in the last request. That also goes for fields (i.e., OrganizationName wasn't included on the latest API call, thus removing it from that contact record). With the /list endpoint, you can mimic this behavior using the "Replace" mode every time. The "Add" and "Remove" modes allow for partial data to be sent as long as the required fields are correctly filled out (e.g., "adding" a few contacts to a list does not require the entire list of ContactIds for that list).

Endpoints

You must specify the following URLs in the requests you make in order to use the Push API.

• Base URL: https://datapushapi.higherlogic.com/v2
• Example API endpoint URL: https://datapushapi.higherlogic.com/v2/contactinfo

NOTE: In the tables in this article, required fields are indicated in bold text.

Notes

IsDeleted

Reference objects (ContactDetails, Meeting, and Product) each have an IsDeleted property. When you request that one of these objects be deleted, the only required field is the corresponding unique ID (ContactId, MeetingId, and ProductId).

DateTime data type

When using the DateTime data type, the value must be in either of these ISO 8601 formats:

• UTC - .NET Format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ"
• Time Offset from UTC - .NET Format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffzzz"
