API Quick Start Guide

To enhance your experience and streamline your processes, we've created this comprehensive API Quick Start Guide. Find details and valuable insights into how to make the most of the D4H API.

API for Team Manager

The D4H Personnel & Training, Equipment Management and Incident Reporting (Team Manager platform) API allows you to query and update your response team's account. For details on available endpoints and authentication, visit https://api.team-manager.us.d4h.com/v2/documentation.

To authenticate, obtain a token in your Personal Settings, and Owners can enable third-party API access in Team Settings.

💡 TIPS: Developer

Remember to use the appropriate URL based on your response team's server. (api.ca.d4h.org, api.eu.d4h.org)
HTTPS is mandatory
When an error is encountered in your request, most will contain precise info about what is wrong. Eg. field "category_id" must be a number" or field "activity" must be one of "incident", "event", "exercise"
The authentication method is a bearer token. All requests require a header field called Authorization with value Bearer <yourtokengoeshere>
API tokens are unique to each team member. Any write action done using an API token will be reflected in the application using that member's credentials (audit, etc). When building applications or integrations, never distribute a token with it. Protect it like you would protect a password.

HTTP codes are meaningful:

400: an issue with your requests' parameters;
401: an issue with your token or authentication;
403: an issue with the user's permissions;
404: a not found - it may either be an incorrect URL or an entity that no longer exists;
409: a conflict, eg a start date that is before an end date;
500: a server error (those shouldn't happen, but if they're ever encountered, get in touch with support!)
A full list - this is a web standard - is available here (official), or a friendlier version here.
