What do you need to get started?


1. Authentication

The recommended method of authentication is OAuth2. To authenticate through OAuth2, you'll need to use the Connected Apps (Setup → Integration → Connected Apps).


Unfortunately, some platforms do not support OAuth2 authentication to call (to them) external platforms. In those cases, you would need an API Key; you can find your API Key in the Admin section of your CustomerGauge system.


2. General API URL (based on your location):


3. Method type definition:

  • Get Method: Use this method to get (export) data from the CustomerGauge system.

  • Put Method: Use this method to update data already existing in the CustomerGauge system

Error Codes


CustomerGauge API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that resulted from the provided information (e.g. a required parameter was missing, a charge failed, etc.), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with CustomerGauge servers.


HTTP Status Code Summary

  • 200 OK – Everything worked as expected.
  • 400 Bad Request – Often missing a required parameter.
  • 401 Unauthorized – No valid API key provided.
  • 500, 502, 503, 504 Server errors – something went wrong on CustomerGauge end.
