Cention Logio (login & logout) API

  • To use Cention Contact Center logio API, a Bearer Token with ‘Access to logio API’ claim is needed (see steps and Screenshot below).
  • To create Bearer Token, go to Cention server → Administration tab → API → Access Tokens.
  • Click on Create New button and tick the checkbox beside ‘Access to logio API’ under Others.
  • Fill up the required Name & Key fields or otherwise the Save button will not be clickable.

Screenshot

The API could be called from any web agent with Bearer Token in the http header: Authorization: Bearer <token>. For example Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGci...<snip>...yu5CSpyHI


Usage:

  • Use HTTP GET with endpoint: https://<cention api domain>/s/<workspace>/capi/custom/logio to call logio API. If the name of your Cention workspace is “demo” and the cention api domain is apid.cention.com then the endpoint would be: https://apid.cention.com/s/demo/capi/custom/logio

Notes

  • For security reason, logio will retrieve records within same system group; meaning if the API was created in system group A, the retrieval will pull records within system group A only.

  • Convertion between unix timestamp and human readable format could be done programatically or via online, e.g. epochconverter.
