The public API uses stateless authentication only. ## Scopes API keys are granted specific scopes that determine what operations they can perform. Each endpoint documents its required scope(s). ## Rate Limiting API calls are rate limited per API key. Rate limit information is returned in response headers: - `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests per minute - `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Remaining requests in current window - `X-RateLimit-Reset`: When the rate limit resets (ISO 8601) ## Request ID All responses include an `X-Request-Id` header for debugging and support. You can also pass your own `X-Request-Id` header to correlate requests. contact: name: MSPortal Support email: support@msportal.ai license: name: Proprietary servers: - url: https://app.msportal.ai description: Production (US) - url: https://eu.msportal.ai description: Production (EU) security: - BearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Budgets description: >- Budget management - create, track, and forecast budgets with line items, categories, and products - name: Calendar description: Calendar and meeting management - events, participants, and meeting types - name: Companies description: Company management endpoints - name: Company Users description: Company user management - client portal contacts (read-only, paginated) - name: Compliance description: Compliance check management - runs, assigned checks, and status updates - name: Dashboards description: Dashboard management - external iframe resources and internal dashboards - name: Devices description: Device management - inventory, types, and locations - name: Goals description: Goal management - create, track, and manage goals with tasks and updates - name: NPS Surveys description: >- NPS survey management - Net Promoter Score surveys, responses, and analytics - name: Reports description: >- Report management - create, manage, and schedule reports with templates and types - name: Planner description: >- Planner item management - tasks, roadmap items, and project planning with linked goals, compliance, and projects - name: Surveys description: >- General survey management - multi-question surveys, responses, and statistics - name: Tickets description: Ticket management - view and filter tickets from PSA integrations - name: Training description: >- Training management - courses, enrollments, certificates, and progress tracking - name: Users description: Tenant user management - internal staff and team members (read-only) - name: Automation Rules description: >- Automation rule management - create, configure, and monitor automation rules with triggers, conditions, and actions - name: Analytics description: >- Analytics and reporting - company audit data, training analytics, user activity, and portfolio metrics - name: Client Onboarding description: >- Client onboarding - portals (phases, tasks, contacts, activation), templates, checklist templates, forms and documentation pages - name: Backup description: >- Backup - summaries, protected devices, alerts and SaaS protection (Datto, Axcient, Slide, Kaseya) - name: Microsoft 365 description: Microsoft 365 - licenses, users, domains and Secure Score - name: Security description: >- Security - posture summary, EDR incidents, vulnerabilities, email threats, firewalls, DNS filtering and security awareness - name: Financial description: Financial - quotes, invoices and revenue summaries - name: Integrations description: Integrations - status, sync health, pause and resume (never credentials) - name: Documentation description: >- Documentation - pages, folders and articles synced from Hudu or IT Glue, plus built-in pages - name: Broadcasts description: Broadcasts - emergency broadcasts, recipients and groups - name: Notifications description: Notifications - the linked user's in-app notifications - name: Standards description: >- Standards - technology standards catalog, service plans, applicability, deployment statuses, compliance rollups, white space and costs - name: Customer Success description: >- Customer success - client health scores, trends, benchmarks and Traffic Light Reviews - name: Tasks description: Tasks - the linked user's personal task list - name: Tenant Setup description: Tenant setup - profile, branding and portal settings (never secrets) - name: Roles description: Roles - staff and client roles and their permission grants - name: Ticket Templates description: Ticket templates - reusable ticket definitions - name: Readiness description: Client readiness - account readiness assessments - name: Projects description: >- Projects - PSA projects with health overlays (deliverables, milestones, client actions, weekly updates), phases, tickets, time entries, PSA status/owner/priority write-through, ticket notes, task controls, display settings and the document library paths: /api/public/v1/surveys: post: tags: - Surveys summary: Create a general survey description: >- Create a complete general survey with its questions, answer types and options.
