API features and limitations

The API is platform-neutral and supports a subset of Smile functionality. The Smile API consists of endpoints that let you perform the following tasks:
  • account—get account and transaction information, raise adjustments and reimbursements, manage other account charges, download activity statements, update accounts and manage bonds
  • accounts receivable—get information about item descriptions
  • authentication—authenticate credentials passed to Smile by a trusted application
  • CAT—retrieve and email CAT user password details
  • contracts—get service and subscription contract information, and add, update and terminate subscription contracts
  • credit card payments—validate credit card details
  • CRM—create and retrieve tickets, update tickets and get appointment availability
  • invoice grouping—get, create and delete invoice groups
  • managed plans—get managed plan information and change managed plans and groups
  • orders—reserve usernames, get order forms, order and approve accounts and subscriptions and manage order groups
  • number pools—get, create and remove number pool reservations
  • plan change—get service and subscription plans, propose and commit plan changes
  • prepaid subscriptions—validate and redeem vouchers, provide quotes and add prepaid blocks to subscriptions
  • provisioning—update the status of provisioning requests
  • recurring charge—get information about recurring charges and add and update recurring charges
  • services—qualify services and get service information
  • spend management—get information about the state of value pools, usage alert groups and spend limits
  • subscriptions—update subscriptions, change a subscription's plan and get subscription information, including data from custom fields, and manage pool and IP range reservations

In addition, Smile sends messages to the message bus that let you respond to changes in Smile and synchronise Smile data across your network.

However, the API does not support all the functionality you can access in Smile, including:
  • entering payments (except adjustments)
  • creating packages and plans
  • managing workflows or helpdesk tickets
  • creating reports
