SproutGigs' API Documentation
Last updated at Mar 04, 2024
Contents
Overview
SproutGigs API is a JSON based API where buyers can manage jobs programatically.
Recently, we've started developing an API for gigs.
Anyone interested in using our gigs platform will be able to list and get details of gigs.
It's a preliminary work and we will be adding more endpoints to the gigs API in the future.
It's currently in Beta and all feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
If you have deposited over $1,000 in crypto, please message support for auto approval posts. Others considered on a case by case basis.
The base endpoint for all requests is https://sproutgigs.com/api/
Authentication
Every API request needs to be authenticated. You can create or reset you API secret in the tab SETTINGS of your Account Settings page.
To sign requests, add the header Authorization with the value of
'Basic ' + the base 64 encoding of your USER_ID and API_SECRET separated by colon
Example:
1. Generate the base64 encoding of your user_id and api_secret
php> echo base64_encode('user_id:api_secret');
php> dXNlcl9pZDphcGlfc2VjcmV0
2. Send the header Authorization in the request
$ curl -H 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcl9pZDphcGlfc2VjcmV0' \
https://sproutgigs.com/api/jobs/get-zones.php
Rate Limit
SproutGigs API has a rate limit of 1 request per seconds.
Requests will receive a 429 HTTP code back when they go over the rate limit.
If you reach the rate limit, please wait 10 seconds before sending requests to the API again.
