API
Note: Check your version of PropReports to make sure a feature is available.
A reference implementation of a client (in PHP) can be downloaded here: apiclient.zip.
To access the API, use the following URL: https://<you>.propreports.com/api.php.
All requests must be submitted as a POST request via https with parameters encoded as multipart/form-data or application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
If there is a problem processing your request, PropReports will return an HTTP status code 500 together with an error message.
Request Limitations
The current request rate is limited to 40 requests every 4 seconds. This equates to 600 requests per minute.
Pagination
The output of some actions is limited: accounts, adjustments, fills, profiles, and groups return a maximum of 50,000 records; positions, 10,000 records. To retrieve more data a "page" parameter is introduced. If specified, the last line of the output (trailer) will indicate total number of pages available (e.g. "Page 1/3"). To maintain backwards compatibility, if "page" is not specified, the trailer will be omitted and the results of the first page returned.
On success, this action will return a 32-character token which must be used in all subsequent requests. This token will remain valid for approximately 2 hours from the time it is issued.
