Quickstart

Getting started

Everything you need to make your first authenticated request to the Tixallo API.

Base URL

All API requests are served over HTTPS from the Tixallo apex domain under the /api/v1 path:

https://tixallo.com/api/v1

Plain HTTP is not supported. Requests over http://will be rejected at the edge.

Required headers

Every request needs these two headers:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

The Authorization header carries a workspace-scoped API key. The Content-Type header is required on all requests that include a JSON body (POST, PUT, PATCH).

Workflow

  1. Create an account or workspace. Sign up at tixallo.com and finish the short onboarding so your workspace exists.
  2. Generate an API key. Inside the Tixallo app, open the integrations area and create a new key. Copy it once — you won't be able to view it again.
  3. Make a test request. Use the snippet in the next section to confirm your key authenticates and returns JSON.
  4. Create or fetch tickets. Start integrating: list recent tickets, fetch a single ticket with its conversation, or create one from your own UI.
  5. Register webhooks if required. Configure webhook endpoints in the Tixallo app to receive ticket and message events in real time.

A simple test request

The fastest way to confirm your key works is to list your recent tickets. A successful call returns HTTP 200 with a data array.

curl https://tixallo.com/api/v1/tickets?limit=5 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Example response:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "9f6c…",
      "ticket_number": 1042,
      "subject": "Cannot log in after password reset",
      "status": "new",
      "priority": "medium",
      "source": "api",
      "created_at": "2026-05-04T10:55:02Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-05-04T10:55:02Z",
      "customer_id": "c1a2…"
    }
  ]
}

If you get HTTP 401, your key is wrong or missing — re-check the Authorization header. Anything in the 5xx range is a server-side issue and is safe to retry with backoff.

Creating your first ticket

Send a POST with a subject, description and customer email. Tixallo will look up the customer by email within your workspace and create one automatically if it doesn't exist.

curl https://tixallo.com/api/v1/tickets \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "subject": "Webhook delivery delayed",
    "description": "Our order.created webhook took 12s to fire.",
    "customer_email": "alex@example.com",
    "customer_name": "Alex Example",
    "priority": "high"
  }'

A successful create returns HTTP 201 and the new ticket payload. The ticket.created webhook fires immediately afterwards.
