# Fizzy API

Fizzy has an API that allows you to integrate your application with it or to create
a bot to perform various actions for you.

## Authentication

There are two ways to authenticate with the Fizzy API:

1. **Personal access tokens** - Long-lived tokens for scripts and integrations
2. **Magic link authentication** - Session-based authentication for native apps

Read the [authentication guide](sections/authentication.md) to get started.

## Caching

Most endpoints return [ETag](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/ETag) and [Cache-Control](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Cache-Control) headers. You can use these to avoid re-downloading unchanged data.

### Using ETags

When you make a request, the response includes an `ETag` header:

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
ETag: "abc123"
Cache-Control: max-age=0, private, must-revalidate
```

On subsequent requests, include the ETag value in the `If-None-Match` header:

```
GET /1234567/cards/42.json
If-None-Match: "abc123"
```

If the resource hasn't changed, you'll receive a `304 Not Modified` response with no body, saving bandwidth and processing time:

```
HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified
ETag: "abc123"
```

If the resource has changed, you'll receive the full response with a new ETag.

__Example in Ruby:__

```ruby
# Store the ETag from the response
etag = response.headers["ETag"]

# On next request, send it back
headers = { "If-None-Match" => etag }
response = client.get("/1234567/cards/42.json", headers: headers)

if response.status == 304
# Nothing to do, the card hasn't changed
else
# The card has changed, process the new data
end
```

## Error Responses

When a request fails, the API response will communicate the source of the problem through the HTTP status code.

| Status Code | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `400 Bad Request` | The request was malformed or missing required parameters |
| `401 Unauthorized` | Authentication failed or access token is invalid |
| `403 Forbidden` | You don't have permission to perform this action |
| `404 Not Found` | The requested resource doesn't exist or you don't have access to it |
| `422 Unprocessable Entity` | Validation failed (see error response format above) |
| `500 Internal Server Error` | An unexpected error occurred on the server |

If a request contains invalid data for fields, such as entering a string into a number field, in most cases the API will respond with a `500 Internal Server Error`. Clients are expected to perform some validation on their end before making a request.

A validation error will produce a `422 Unprocessable Entity` response, which will sometimes be accompanied by details about the error:

```json
{
"avatar": ["must be a JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP image"]
}
```

## Pagination

All endpoints that return a list of items are paginated. The page size can vary from endpoint to endpoint,
and we use a dynamic page size where initial pages return fewer results than later pages.

If there are more results to fetch, the response will include a `Link` header with a `rel="next"` link to the next page of results:

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer put-your-access-token-here" -H "Accept: application/json" -v http://fizzy.localhost:3006/686465299/cards
# ...
< link: <http://fizzy.localhost:3006/686465299/cards?page=2>; rel="next"
# ...
```

## List parameters

When an endpoint accepts a list of values as a parameter, you can provide multiple values by repeating the parameter name:

```
?tag_ids[]=tag1&tag_ids[]=tag2&tag_ids[]=tag3
```

List parameters always end with `[]`.

## File Uploads

Some endpoints accept file uploads. To upload a file, send a `multipart/form-data` request instead of JSON.
You can combine file uploads with other parameters in the same request.

__Example using curl:__

```bash
curl -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: Bearer put-your-access-token-here" \
-F "user[name]=David H. Hansson" \
-F "user[avatar]=@/path/to/avatar.jpg" \
http://fizzy.localhost:3006/686465299/users/03f5v9zjw7pz8717a4no1h8a7
```

## Rich Text Fields

Some fields accept rich text content. These fields accept HTML input, which will be sanitized to remove unsafe tags and attributes.

See the [rich text guide](sections/rich_text.md) for more information, including how to attach files to rich text fields using the direct upload flow.

# Account

## `GET /account/settings`

Returns the current account.

__Response:__

```json
{
"id": "03f5v9zjvypwh0t0e2rfh0h7k",
"name": "37signals",
"cards_count": 5,
"created_at": "2025-12-05T19:36:35.401Z",
"auto_postpone_period_in_days": 30
}
```

The `auto_postpone_period_in_days` is the account-level default in days (e.g. `30`). Cards are automatically moved to "Not Now" after this period of inactivity. Each board can override this with its own value.

## `PUT /account/entropy`

Updates the account-level default auto close period. Requires admin role.

__Request:__

```json
{
"entropy": {
"auto_postpone_period_in_days": 30
}
}
```

__Response:__

Returns the account object:

```json
{
"id": "03f5v9zjvypwh0t0e2rfh0h7k",
"name": "37signals",
"cards_count": 5,
"created_at": "2025-12-05T19:36:35.401Z",
"auto_postpone_period_in_days": 30
}
```

## `PUT /:account_slug/boards/:board_id/entropy`

Updates the auto close period for a specific board. Requires board admin permission.

__Request:__

```json
{
"board": {
"auto_postpone_period_in_days": 90
}
}
```

__Response:__

Returns the board object.

# Authentication

There are two ways to authenticate with the Fizzy API:

1. **Personal access tokens** - Long-lived tokens for scripts and integrations
2. **Magic link authentication** - Session-based authentication for native apps

## Personal Access Tokens

To use the API you'll need an access token. To get one, go to your profile, then,
in the API section, click on "Personal access tokens" and then click on
"Generate new access token".

Give it a description and pick what kind of permission you want the access token to have:
- `Read`: allows reading data from your account
- `Read + Write`: allows reading and writing data to your account on your behalf

Then click on "Generate access token".

| 4 | Give it a description and assign it a permission | <img width="400" alt="Access token created" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/49b8e350-d152-4946-8aad-e13260b983fd" /> |
</details>

> [!IMPORTANT]
> __An access token is like a password, keep it secret and do not share it with anyone.__
> Any person or application that has your access token can perform actions on your behalf.

To authenticate a request using your access token, include it in the `Authorization` header:

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer put-your-access-token-here" -H "Accept: application/json" https://app.fizzy.do/my/identity
```

## Magic Link Authentication

For native apps, you can authenticate users via magic links. This is a two-step process:

### 1. Request a magic link

Send the user's email address to request a magic link be sent to them:

```bash
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-d '{"email_address": "user@example.com"}' \
https://app.fizzy.do/session
```

__Response:__

```
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Set-Cookie: pending_authentication_token=...; HttpOnly; SameSite=Lax
```

```json
{
"pending_authentication_token": "eyJfcmFpbHMi..."
}
```

The response includes a `pending_authentication_token` both in the JSON body and as a cookie.
Native apps should store this token and include it as a cookie when submitting the magic link code.

__Error responses:__

| Status Code | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `422 Unprocessable entity` | Invalid email address, if sign ups are enabled and the value isn't a valid email address |
| `429 Too Many Requests` | Rate limit exceeded |

### 2. Submit the magic link code

Once the user receives the magic link email, they'll have a 6-character code. Submit it to complete authentication:

```bash
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Cookie: pending_authentication_token=eyJfcmFpbHMi..." \
-d '{"code": "ABC123"}' \
https://app.fizzy.do/session/magic_link
```

__Response:__

```json
{
"session_token": "eyJfcmFpbHMi..."
}
```

The `session_token` can be used to authenticate subsequent requests by including it as a cookie:

```bash
curl -H "Cookie: session_token=eyJfcmFpbHMi..." \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
https://app.fizzy.do/my/identity
```

__Error responses:__

| Status Code | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `401 Unauthorized` | Invalid `pending_authentication_token` or `code` |
| `429 Too Many Requests` | Rate limit exceeded |


### Delete server-side session (_log out_)

To log out and destroy the server-side session:

```bash
curl -X DELETE \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Cookie: session_token=eyJfcmFpbHMi..." \
https://app.fizzy.do/session
```

__Response:__

Returns `204 No Content` on success.

### Create an access token via the API

You can programmatically create a personal access token using either a session cookie or an existing Bearer token:

```bash
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Cookie: session_token=eyJfcmFpbHMi..." \
-d '{"access_token": {"description": "Fizzy CLI", "permission": "write"}}' \
https://app.fizzy.do/1234567/my/access_tokens
```

Or with a Bearer token (must have `write` permission):

```bash
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer put-your-access-token-here" \
-d '{"access_token": {"description": "Fizzy CLI", "permission": "write"}}' \
https://app.fizzy.do/1234567/my/access_tokens
```

The `permission` field accepts `read` or `write`.

__Response:__

```
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
```

```json
{
"token": "4f9Q6d2wXr8Kp1Ls0Vz3BnTa",
"description": "Fizzy CLI",
"permission": "write"
}
```

Store the `token` value securely — it won't be retrievable again. Use it as a Bearer token for subsequent API requests.
