The Moodforce API gives you access to secure content and features for use in your own app. It strives to be RESTful.
The Moodforce API is the primary way for third-party apps to get data in and out of the Moodforce platform. The API is still in beta and under heavy construction. If you think you are missing a specific endpoint please send a mail to info@moodforce.com and we'll get in touch with you as soon as possible.
If you think you have found a security vulnerability please contact us at info@moodforce.com and we will contact you straight away.
When making request to our endpoints please prefix the path with https://moodforce.com/api
Moodforce uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate connections that use the Moodforce APIs. OAuth 2 is an open protocol for authentication used with web, mobile, and desktop applications. Every use of Moodforce APIs requires authentication so that Moodforce can ensure that only authorized users can interact with the content. OAuth 2 is the protocol that Moodforce uses for such authentication. Moodforce uses the standard OAuth 2 three-legged authentication process. To gain access to our API you first need to create an OAuth client on your member profile page after logging in on moodforce.com.
Once a client has been created, you may use the client ID and secret to request an authorization code and access token from your application. First, the consuming application should make a redirect request to https://moodforce.com/oauth/authorize endpoint like so:
$query = http_build_query([
'client_id' => 'client-id',
'redirect_uri' => 'http://example.com/callback',
'response_type' => 'code',
'scope' => '',
]);
return redirect('https://moodforce.com/oauth/authorize?'.$query);
If the user approves the authorization request, they will be redirected back to the consuming application. The consumer should then issue a POST request to https://moodforce.com/oauth/token to request an access token. The request should include the authorization code that was issued by Moodforce when the user approved the authorization request. In this example, we'll use the Guzzle HTTP library to make the POST request:
$http = new GuzzleHttp\Client;
$response = $http->post('https://moodforce.com/oauth/token', [
'form_params' => [
'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
'client_id' => 'client-id',
'client_secret' => 'client-secret',
'redirect_uri' => 'http://example.com/callback',
'code' => $request->code,
],
]);
return json_decode((string) $response->getBody(), true);
This request will return a JSON response containing access_token, refresh_token, and expires_in attributes. The expires_in attribute contains the number of seconds until the access token expires. You can use the access_token to make authenticated call's to our API.
In certain cases, Moodforce needs to enforce rate-limiting in order to prevent abuse by third-party services and/or users. In the event that an excessive level of usage is reached, a standard 429 Too Many Requests error will be returned, with an indication of when to retry the request. In the event that back-to-back 429s are received, an exponential backoff algorithm is recommended.
Scopes allow your API clients to request a specific set of permissions when requesting authorization to access an account. Our API currently does not differentiate between read/write access or access to specific endpoint's. Please use the * scope for all authorization requests.
The user endpoint returns or stores data for the currently authenticated user.
