Authentication using Base64 encoding

Note for developers

API requests require authentication using HTTP Basic Authentication with an API key. The API key serves as the username, while the password field should be left empty. The format to encode is: your_api_key: (note the trailing colon).

This string must be Base64-encoded and included in the request's Authorization header as follows:

Authorization: Basic encoded_value

You can generate the encoded value using a trusted Base64 encoder.

Things to know before you start

Customer identification: You must provide at least one identifier: email, uuid, customer_id, phone_number, or device_id.

👍
Finding the customer UUID > >
You can find the customer UUID in the URL when viewing a customer profile in the Blueshift app. For example, if you open a customer profile in the Blueshift app, its URL looks like https://app.getblueshift.com/dashboard#/app/customer/<CUSTOMER_UUID>/show/overview.

Multiple identifiers: If multiple identifiers are provided, the API uses them to find the customer (any matching identifier works).
Empty response: Returns an empty topics array if the customer has no subscriptions or is not found.
Phone number format: Must follow E.164 standard with country code (e.g., +14155553467).
