Authentication

For all requests that require authentication, you need to set the HTTP header X-InstallrAppToken to a valid API token. You can manage your API tokens on your Account page.

Example request:

curl -H "X-InstallrAppToken: 8p0myigHvATAmqoxXWGjqjKadFM3h340" \
  https://www.installrapp.com/apps.json

Format

Responses can either be in JSON or XML format. To determine the format, just append .json or .xml on the end of the request. JSON is the default format.

curl -H "X-InstallrAppToken: 8p0myigHvATAmqoxXWGjqjKadFM3h340" https://www.installrapp.com/apps.json returns JSON.

curl -H "X-InstallrAppToken: 8p0myigHvATAmqoxXWGjqjKadFM3h340" https://www.installrapp.com/apps.xml returns XML.

Most responses contain a ‘success’ property that will tell you if a request was successful. They will also contain a ‘message’ property that will tell you where to look for the relevant data if the request was successful. If the request was not successful, the ‘message’ will tell you the problem.

Create App

Endpoint: https://www.installrapp.com/apps.{format}
Method: POST
Uploads an IPA or APK with release notes.
Example:

curl -H "X-InstallrAppToken: 8p0myigHvATAmqoxXWGjqjKadFM3h340"  https://www.installrapp.com/apps.json \
  -F 'qqfile=@Your Cool App.ipa' \
  -F 'releaseNotes=These are the release notes for my cool app' \
  -F 'notify=QA,devs' \
  -F 'add=execs,ops'

‘notify’ and ‘add’ take team names separated by commas. You can also enter the ‘true’ value and all testers for the previous build will be added or notified. Testers that are notified will be given access to the app.
