Vixiees

**Welcome to the Vixiees API**

The Vixiees API allows you to securely and efficiently integrate your systems with our platform,
automate processes and synchronize data in real time. With a single **X-API-Key**, you can create and update
contacts and deals, access recordings, send WhatsApp messages via approved templates and receive
instant notifications through configurable webhooks.

Designed to be **robust, scalable and easy to implement**, the API offers predictable endpoints,
clear limits and intelligent developer support.

---

**What you can do with the API**
- Contacts: create, update and receive changes automatically.
- Deals: create, update and receive changes automatically.
- Recordings: query and retrieve call recordings.
- Messaging: send WhatsApp Business templates.
- Webhooks: receive real-time events for contacts and deals.

---

**Access and authentication**
1. Go to *Settings -> Account -> API*.
2. Enable the API and copy your **secret X-API-Key**.
3. (Optional) Enable webhooks and set the **Webhook URL**.
The API Key is sensitive - do not share it publicly.

---

**Webhooks**
- Enable or disable specific events from the same section.
- Set your receiving URL.
- Receive instant notifications when important changes occur.

---

**Usage limits**
- **License-Based Scaling**
  - Per minute: `licenses x 25 requests`
  - Per hour: x60
  - Per day: x24
- **Hardcore limit:** 40 requests / 2 s (independent of other limits).
- If any limit is exceeded, a `429 TooManyRequests` response is returned with details and a link to [developers.vixiees.com](https://developers.vixiees.com).

---

**Pagination**
- Max **1000 records per page set**.
- Use `limit <= 1000` and `page=1` onwards.
- Filter by `created_at` or `updated_at` to segment results.
  Example: `updated_at>=2025-08-07T00:00:00`
- `422 Unprocessable Entity` indicates the limit has been exceeded or the query is invalid.
