Our Engaging Networks Services (ENS) cover three types of service to solve different integration requirements.

1. Non-sensitive services
These services are useful for bulk statistics, social proofing (e.g. roll calls) and certain non-sensitive aggregate data representations. For example, it is the service that our display widgets use.
As the service does not return any sensitive supporter data, it can be used 'on the page' with javascript.

These are designed for the regular bulk import and export of data, outside of the Engaging Networks dashboard. They are heavy duty, and a lot of information is returned or required. These services are used for batches of data - they are not practical for single supporter updates or adding a single transaction. Examples of use:
These are accessed via the private token which must be kept secured. With the Export API, you will get every type of transaction returned from the past 32 days unless you have requested only a certain campaign type or have adjusted your export API settings or are using an Export Group. Please refer to the 'Transactional Data format' as this is the core of understanding how 'supporter events' are represented.

URLs used:
REST services are programmatically accessed outside of the system. They need a special API user token which must be kept secured. They are useful when integrating external forms or apps with Engaging Networks, when single transactions or updates will occur (i.e. not in bulk).
This service can CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) a supporter remotely and post into donation, petition and other campaign pages.
The session needs to be authenticated first with the API User's key, which will return a token to be used in subsequent calls. The token lasts for approximately one hour.

The page processing limits are 200 requests per 5 mins, from a single source (IP address).
The ENS REST limit is 5,000 requests per 1 hour per API User.
Beyond these limits, requests are blocked.
