REST API v2: GET emailings (Publisher template)

You can use the REST API to retrieve all emailings in which a template was used with an HTTP GET call to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v2/publisher/template/$id/emailings?access_token=xxxx

Where $id should be replaced with the ID of the template you want to retrieve emailings for.

Available parameters

The following parameters are available:

  • type: Includes the type of mailings to include ('mass', 'individual' or 'both').
  • followups: Indicates whether we should retrieve only mailings from follow-ups ('yes'), only mailings not from follow-ups ('no') or all mailings ('both').
  • test: Indicates whether we should retrieve only test mailings ('yes'), only mailings that were not tests ('no') or all mailings ('both').

All of these parameters default to 'both', which means the result won't be filtered if you don't pass any of them.

The method returns a JSON object representing an emailing in the data field. The emailing contains the following fields:

  • id: The ID of the mailing
  • timestamp: The timestamp
  • document: ID of the document used for the mailing
