On this page you will find some technical details of the Dizions API that works with the system. This enables you to interact with your data without having to log in to the web interface. It is a RESTful API using JSON over https. For prices, please call the office.

Dictionaries

Many of the values returned by the API are IDs, so there's a selection of dictionaries to get the friendly names. As a (slow and heavy) reference you can get all datadict dictionaries:

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary (not suggested for general use)

If the dictionary is set up in datadict you can access via api_group/table_reference. The end points below will return the full list of IDs and friendly names.

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/organisations/district

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/referrals/project

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/contacts/contact_type

You can also search for items in the dictionary:

[GET] https://api.dizions.co.uk/v2/dictionary/search/referrals/referrer/SEARCH_TERM
