Users

Discover how to integrate Thumbtack Users into your platform.

Overview

The User APIs support two different groups of behaviors: general purpose User operations and User Webhook related operations.

Users API

More technical details regarding general purpose User operations can be seen in the User API.

Fetching User Data

GET /api/v4/users/self HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}

{
  "userID": "1337",
  "email": "hello@world.com",
  "firstName": "Hello",
  "lastName": "World"
}

Webhooks

More technical details regarding User Webhook related operations can be seen in the User Webhook API. Below, we illustrate an example.

For the below examples, you can leverage https://webhook.site to test out the webhook behavior.

Creating a Webhook for a User

The below command creates a disabled webhook which listens for MessageCreatedV4 Events.

POST /api/v4/users/webhooks HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}
content-type: application/json
{
    "webhookURL": "<your webhook URL>",
    "eventTypes": [
        "MessageCreatedV4"
    ],
    "enabled": false,
    "auth": {
        "username": "hello",
        "password": "world"
    }
}

{
  "webhookID": "<your unique webhookID>",
  "webhookURL": "<your webhook URL>",
  "enabled": false,
  "authType": "Basic",
  "userID": "<your userID>",
  "eventTypes": [
    "MessageCreatedV4"
  ]
}

Getting a Webhook by ID for a User

We can fetch this Webhook's data directly, as such:

GET /api/v4/users/webhooks/{{webhookID}} HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}

{
  "webhookID": "<your webhookID>",
  "webhookURL": "<your webhook.site URL>",
  "enabled": false,
  "authType": "Basic",
  "userID": "<your userID>",
  "eventTypes": [
    "MessageCreatedV4"
  ]
}

Getting All Webhooks for a User

Alternatively, we can fetch all Webhooks for the given User.

GET /api/v4/users/webhooks HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}

{
  "data": [
    {
      ...webhook fields
    },
    ...
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "limit": 10
  }
}

Updating a Webhook for a User

We can enable the webhook by:

PUT /api/v4/users/webhooks/{{webhookID}} HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}
content-type: application/json
{
    "enabled": true
}

Updating a Webhook's Authentication for a User

We can modify the Webhook's authentication by:

PUT /api/v4/users/webhooks/{{webhookID}}/auth HTTP/2
authorization: Bearer {{authCode}}
content-type: application/json
{
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password"
}

Deleting a Webhook's Authentication for a User

We can delete the Webhook's authentication by:

DELETE /api/v4/users/webhooks/{{webhookID}}/auth HTTP/2
