SproutGigs' API Documentation

Last updated at June 29, 2022

Contents

1. Overview

SproutGigs API is a JSON based API where employers can create jobs programatically.
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/

2. 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
      

3. Jobs

In order to create jobs, you need to inform the zone_id and excluded_countries, if any, OR the list_id, if it's a job targeted to one of your list of workers, and the category_id.

The most updated information can be obtained using the zones, lists and categories endpoints. Refer to those endpoints to set up the job correctly.

Receive a postback when workers submit tasks to your jobs. It runs every minute and will send the list of task ids submitted for each jobin that period.

After that, it will stop trying to send the task ids.

Go to Account > Settings to define the URL to receive postbacks whenever workers submit tasks to your jobs and leave it blank to stop the postback.
