API Reference

The Real User Monitoring API allows customers to query for session information from Raygun. It has two endpoints; one for aggregate session information, and one for individual session information.

The Real User Monitoring API is only available to customers on enterprise plans

The API provides two main query endpoints and an authentication endpoint. The first endpoint provides a search for user sessions and will return a paged list with cut down session details. The second endpoint provides a call to get the full session details for a single session using the session Id returned in the search endpoint.

  • GET Authenticate
  • GET Sessions
  • GET Session

note:

  • All datetimes are in ISO 8061 UTC format
  • All calls have a 30 second timeout.
  • By default, a rate limit of 50 calls per day will apply per application.

Authentication to the Raygun API is handled through a time limited token passed in the X-SessionKey header of all requests. To get a session key you are required to call the authenticate endpoint with your Raygun application API key and basic authentication username and password. The API key for your application is provided under the Application settings in Raygun. The basic authentication username and password are generated by creating a consumer application under your Raygun plan and using the client ID as the username and client secret as the password.

To get your basic authentication username and password:

  1. Navigate to your plan settings in top right dropdown, clicking on your plan name.

  2. Click on the Consumers tab and then click Register Application.

  3. Enter your applications details (note authorization callback URL is not used and can be set to any valid URL) and click Register.

  4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret. These are the username and password in the authenticate call basic authorization header.
