Ok, so I downloaded the API examples from here:
https://infusionsoft.helpstream.biz/View.jsp?procId=c0cb840a1cff125f011d0c4bfc3a71e6&from=SearchAll_10

I want to use DataService.update

key - (string) The encrypted API key
table - (string) The table to update the record
id - (int) The primary key of the record
values - (struct) A struct containing the...

So where are the table names? Where are all the field names for the tables?

Where are all the examples? The only example for the api is adding a contact!

Searching on google gets me nowhere, the search on the forum is next to useless. Searching on fusebox has next to nothing for api programming and tonnes for clients and the infusionsoft gui.

Please let me know, if there is a treasure trove of information hiding under a rock somewhere...

Thanks,

James.

Hey James,

You may have missed this file, it has the table and field names.

Hope it helps!

Also, if you are using php, the sdk is incredibly useful.

Thanks for the comment on the SDK Micah.

Also I created a new page that eliminates the need to look through an XML file for the tables/fields you can access. basically it parses the XML file and builds out an easier to read/navigate page, yes its ugly, but im a coder not a designer.

you can find this page at www.infusionsoft.com/fusebox/api/field_access.php

That is snazzy, I've said it before, I'll say it again, you're the man Justin!

Thanks for the help, and for listening to my rant.

Cheers,

James.

Justin,

Thanks for posting that - it's a big help!

No Problem!

If you run into any sections on it that when using it in the API it says "No Table Found" it just means they haven't been opened up yet but will be in future releases.

I have looked at

http://www.infusionsoft.com/fusebox/api/field_access.php?table=Ticket

Am I right in saying there is no API access to the email history data?

For example if I wanted to inject sent messages from another system - is the table for emails available?

Nope. No such animal in the API.

You may be able to create an Action Set, callable through the API, to simulate the dispatch of 3rd party messages.
