Request

To access interactive tools and applications that will help you work with the Response API, refer to Tools.

The following code block shows a sample request.

GET https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response/v1/clientResponses/{responseGUID}/author?passkey={RESPONSE_API_PASSKEY} HTTP/1.1

Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}
...

Ellipses (…) in above example indicate that your app may generate other headers.

📘
Older applications may be using https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/contentmanagement as the base URL for the Response API, instead of https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response. The contentmanagement URL has been deprecated. However, Bazaarvoice will continue to support applications that use the contentmanagement URL until further notice.

Header

HTTP status 200 indicates success. Other header values are documented in the API Reference.

Body

A successful response will contain a JSON object in the body. The following demonstrates a typical successful creation of a client response:

{
    "data": {
        "type": "author",
        "id": "1"
    },
    "links": {
        "self": "https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response/v1/clientResponses/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/author",
        "related": "https://[stg.]api.bazaarvoice.com/response/v1/clientResponses/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/author"
    }
}

The response syntax follows the JSON API specification, exposing data, links, and relationships nodes.
