Inbox API

View product v1.4.0

Inbox API allows delivery of simple text messages to mobile apps.

The PowerAuth application is always derived from credentials which are used when accessing the REST API, so the API can be used with multiple PowerAuth applications by switching REST API credentials.

Possible Error Codes

The API may return one of the following error codes:

HTTP	Error Code	Description
`400`	`ERROR_INBOX`	Error related to working inbox.
`400`	`ERROR_INBOX_NOT_FOUND`	Inbox was not found for given user / app.
`400`	`ERROR_REQUEST`	Request did not pass validation (mandatory property missing, null/invalid value).
`401`	`ERROR_UNAUTHORIZED`	Returned in the case authentication fails (invalid application credentials).
`404`	`ERROR_NOT_FOUND`	Returned in the case URL is not present (calling wrong API).
`500`	`ERROR_GENERIC`	Unknown error occurred while processing request.
`500`	`ERROR_INTERNAL_API`	Communication with internal service failed.
