Getting Started

If you're a Site Administrator for one or more sites, follow these steps to be up-and-running with the Fishbowl Enterprise API in just minutes:

1. From the Manage Administrators screen, click the pencil icon to edit your own Administrator record. Then check the "API User" checkbox and click the "Save" button.
2. In a web browser, paste this URL into the address bar and hit Enter: https://services.fishbowl.com/api/odata/v1/Sites
3. The browser will prompt you to enter your username and password. Use your Fishbowl administrator credentials (the same one you use to log in to Fishbowl Enterprise).
   
4. Depending on the web browser you're using, you might receive a prompt asking you if you'd like to open or save a file, in which case you should choose "Open":

...or the browser might display the raw data in JSON format:

{

"odata.metadata":"https://services.fishbowl.com/API/odata/v1/123456/$metadata#Sites","value":[

{

"SiteID":"4294967274","Name":"Main Street Grill","SiteGUID":"8d1405c0-e704-4171-a285-::da591896b0c6","WebDomainName":"mainstreetgrill.fbmta.com","MailDomainName":"mainstreetgrill.fbmta.com"

},{

"SiteID":"4294967289","Name":"Main Street Grill - Corporate","SiteGUID":"7c4bc04f-6dd2-4f4a-83f8-::bb298dd6ef32","WebDomainName":"mainstreetgrillcorp.fbmta.com","MailDomainName":"mainstreetgrill.fbmta.com"

}

}

That's it: you've made a successful API request to retrieve a list of Sites for which you're authorized as an API User.
