Optify API Client for Java

Like many other cloud services, Optify provides an application programming interface, or an API, to its customers. The API is a component of our system that enables you to include Optify’s visitor and lead intelligence in your own applications and reports.

To start using the API you will need an access token. To request your access token please send an email to support@optify.net. If you just want to test out our API you may use our demo account token: qbkkw3ir3gtg7bdf4rumb69p.

Optify’s API is exposed over HTTPS and vends XML or JSON. This means that you can use any platform with an HTTP client to access it. The following entities and methods are defined:

Entities:

• site
• visitor

Methods:

• /sites – get all site information
• /sites/{siteToken} – get site information
• /sites/{siteToken}/visitors – get all visitor information for a site
• /sites/{siteToken}/visitors/{visitorId} – get visitor information for a given site

You can try the API out immediately in your browser. For example, visiting https://api.optify.net/v1/sites/EYNN83MD/visitors?access_token=wmjf73ott6f33unj2ztlttor&count=200 will show you up to 200 of your site’s visitors in the last 24 hours.

For detailed information about these entities and methods please visit our API documentation.
