Introduction

Duda's App Store API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs.

Duda's primary path for all App Store API endpoints is: https://api.duda.co/api/integrationhub/application

The Duda App Store API is currently not open to the public.

Authentication & Security

Duda's App Store API uses basic HTTP authentication and authorization tokens to authenticate requests and allow access to site resources.

As part of partnering with Duda's App Store, you will get a username and password specific to your app. The username and password need to be joined with a colon and base64 encoded before passing it into the Authorization header.

In addition to the username and password, Duda provides site-specific bearer tokens in the install callback. Duda expects all App Store API calls to include the site-specific token in an X-DUDA-ACCESS-TOKEN header.

An example cURL request:

curl 'https://api.duda.co/api/integrationhub/application' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic <base64-user:pass>' \
-H 'X-DUDA-ACCESS-TOKEN: Bearer <authorization-token>'

Duda's APIs are only available over HTTPS to ensure that data is securely transmitted over the internet. In addition, Duda only accepts connections using TLS v1.2 and higher.

Rate Limits

Duda's servers enforce rate limits to maintain a level of performance and stability for all Duda customers. We have both global and endpoint-specific rate limits.

For all API endpoints, there is a hard limit of 10 API calls per second. If you are running any batch process against the API, Duda recommends limiting your requests to one every 125ms (8 a second) to prevent hitting the rate limit.

Duda will respond with a 429 Too Many Requests status code if you hit a rate limit.

Errors

When Duda detects an error in your request, we will respond with a 400 (Bad Request) HTTP response and return a JSON error object:

{
  "error_code": "ResourceNotExist",
  "message": "Site with alias 'badName' doesn't exist"
}

Good-to-Know

Dates

There are some Duda APIs that return date-time values. Duda formats these in the standard universal full date-time pattern in the UTC timezone. The format is: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss. So for example: 2016-11-15T22:55:53 would be November 11th, 2016 at 10:55:53 PM UTC.

When sending dates to Duda, you can use the full universal format above, or just the YYYY-MM-DD format. If you omit the time, Duda will default that time to the beginning of the day.

Languages

There are some parts of the API where Duda returns real-world content to display to users. As part of this, we can deliver localized content. Below you will see a full list of languages that the Duda platform (UI) is localized for and their corresponding language codes. *
