Note: You're located in section for advanced users. Please use this section only if you're familiar with API's.

Our public API provides access to any public knowledge base content, such as questions and categories.


Use the following URL to retrieve questions:

my_account.helpjuice.com/api/questions


You can further filter and order the questions returned via Query Parameters:

It's also possible to scope the questions within a specific language. To do so, just provide the desired language in the URL using the following syntax:

my_account.helpjuice.com/api/en_US/questions


Response:

[
  {
    "id":112828,
    "name":"Embedding Videos Into Your Knowledge Base",
    "views":394,
    "account_id":1885,
    "accessibility":1,
    "description":null,
    "email":"john.smith@example.com",
    "is_published":true,
    "is_juiced":false,
    "codename":"embedding-videos-into-knowledge-base",
    "language_id":1,
    "position":0,
    "created_at":"2014-11-24T20:15:53.865Z",
    "updated_at":"2016-01-23T17:00:51.389Z",
    "categories":[
      {
        "id":7732,
        "account_id":1885,
        "name":"Using Our Text Editor",
        "language_id":1,
        "accessibility":1,
        "created_at":"2014-11-19T16:30:44.994Z",
        "updated_at":"2016-03-10T14:58:21.011Z",
        "parent_id":7728,
        "lft":10312,
        "rgt":10313,
        "position":3,
        "codename":"using-our-text-editor",
        "index":0
      }]
  }
]

By default, questions will be showed in JSON format. However, it's possible to retrieve them in other 2 formats: XLS and CSV. To do so, you just need to specify the format in the URL, as follows:

my_account.helpjuice.com/api/questions.xls => to retrieve XLS spreadsheet
my_account.helpjuice.com/api/questions.csv => to retrieve a CSV file


Troubleshooting

  • Blank response: if you are not seeing any data, or you are receiving a corrupted file (in case of XLS), that's because your Knowledge Base is marked as internally only. Solution: if you are using a browser to access the data, just sign in before making the request. Otherwise, you'll need to use your Private Key (accessible under Settings > API Credentials) in a request parameter called api_key, like:
    • my_account.helpjuice.com/api/en_US/questions?api_key=MY_KEY
csv xls retrive json category api questions api retreving helpjuice api

Why is the knowledge base important?

With a knowledge base, you can allow your customers to self-help themselves, thus reducing your customer support by up to 60%. Furthermore, you can also have your team get instant answers to the questions they need without having to email themselves all using knowledge base software.

What is the purpose of a knowledge base?

The purpose of knowledge base software is to allow you to host your knowledge base/corporate wiki in one centralized 'hub'. Both your customers, and employees can now access information within seconds!
