8x8 Support

Real Time Statistics Reporting API for 8x8 Contact Center

Note-Icon.png

All future enhancements will be on those APIs and within Analytics for Contact Center

Analytics for Contact Center offers a full suite of Summary, Detailed and Realtime APIs. 

These newer APIs directly match the capabilities of Analytics for Contact Center and provide the same extensive range of metrics and dimensions.

While there is no current end of service for the APIs below, it is strongly advised to leverage the Analytics for Contact Center APIs for any new projects and consider adopting them in existing projects.

Overview

The 8x8 real time statistics reporting API is composed of a set of URIs that identify and request real time statistical data from the 8x8 system. This style of API makes it very easy to compose and send a query, which is always done using an HTTP GET request.

The API provides real time data about agents and queues. It allows queries on all agents and queues or particular agent and queue with provided ID. The data returned by the API is from a server cache that is refreshed every 10 seconds. All API requests are authenticated using a token that is issued to a valid 8x8 tenant. The API supports XML and JSON as the response formats. For security reasons, the Real Time Statistics API only accepts request using HTTPS, so that request headers and response data are encrypted.

Testing Using A Browser

The Statistics API makes it easy to submit a query, for experimentation, testing or debugging purposes. From a web browser, simply enter the URL. You will be prompted to enter a username and password. Enter your tenant name as the username, and your authentication token as the password. Then, the query result will be displayed in your browser. For example,

https://vcc-na4.8x8.com/api/rtstats/stats/agents

will return information about all agents in XML format.

Revise your query URL based on the login URL of your Tenant. (Refer to the Platform URL Guide to retrieve your login URL)

Testing Using curl

In a Linux environment, the curl utility will submit an HTTP request, and allow you to view the result.

curl -u acme:ac12343934687a839cf https://vcc-na4.8x8.com/api/rtstats/stats/agent/jdoe.json

will return the data of agent with login id jdoe, in JSON format. The -u argument identifies the username and password; use your tenant name as the username, and your authentication token as the password.

Authentication

In order to make an API request, you must first obtain an authentication token that has been issued for your tenant. This token combines username and password into a single long string. To get your token, log into the Configuration Manager, select "Integration", and click the "API Token" tab. Next, click the "New Token" button next to "Data Request Token". This generates a new private token for your tenant. You will use this token in all requests to the Statistics API. You may generate a new token at any time.
