Users API

Use these APIs to to perform actions related to your users (members).

The id and auth_id are two different fields and are not interchangeable.

When using our Loyalty API, if you want to take an action on a user’s account, you need to use the auth_id.

The auth_id can be set by you if you register users using our Loyalty API. So, for example, you could set it to the primary key you have for the user in your own systems. This saves you the trouble of creating another column to map users in your system to the user profile with qiibee.

However, if you prefer qiibee that generates a new unique identifier for every new user registration, simply leave the auth_id field empty and we will generate a UUID-v4 and return it to you so you can save it in your system. The user_id shown in the Loyalty Whitelabel App (LWA) frontend is different from the auth_id and is used exclusively for the LWA frontend.

Create User

POST /users

Only the email field is mandatory. The email will be validated, failing which, will return a 400.

We recommend you send a unique UUID-v4 auth_id for every new user registration so you can map each user to your internal system. If you do not send this field we will generate a UUID-v4 and return it to you.

Please save the auth_id and use it for all actions on a user's account.

eg.

{
    "user": {
        "id": "3r2esf3423r",
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "auth_id": "e24c962d-c81c-4a01-b0cd-57dd233553f1",
        "first_name": "John",
        "second_name": "Doe",
        "language": "en",
        "country_ISO": "usa",
        "metadata": {
        "opts_newsletter": true | false
      }
    }
}

Get List of Users

GET /users/

This request returns a paginated list of users. By default, it returns the last 100 users associated with your brand, along with the total count of the users.

You can query transactions using the following query parameters:

  • limit: (optional) sets the required limit of users history to be requested.

    • Defaults: 100

    • Maximum: 100

  • offset: (optional) number of users to offset when getting the remaining users.

    • Default: 0

  • email_like: (optional) a partial or complete email address of registered users.

  • from_time: (optional) queries for transactions that begin from the specified datetime.

    • Defaults: The datetime at which the brand was created in the qiibee database.

  • to_time: (optional) queries for transactions until the specified datetime.

    • Defaults: The current datetime.

The params, limit and offset, work exactly as they’re used in SQL.

Please be sure to encode the query parameters. In the time parameters, the date and time must be expressed according to ISO 8601.

eg: The datetime for 06 June 2022 at 11:23:23 AM will be expressed as 2022-06-01T11:23:23Z

Create User Membership

POST /users/:auth_id/memberships

All fields are mandatory.

Each user can have 1 membership per exchange provider. You can override the membership number in specific requests - for example, when exchanging points to miles you can provide a new membership number specifically for that request.

brand_id can be one of:

  • your brand's id (in this case, the membership number will be your user's auth_id)

  • etihad

  • miles_and_more

  • alaska

The membership number will be validated. If you want to know how you can validate the numbers yourself please reach out to us and we will provide the algorithms for each exchange provider.

eg.

{
    "membership": {
        "brand_id": "etihad" | "miles_and_more",
        "membership_number": "xxxx....xxx"
    }
}

  • Created: HTTP 201 with the user object
