Gleap is a customer support platform with built-in AI bot, bug reporting, feedback widgets, and a solid API. Worth it for any SaaS handling support tickets.

Authentication#

Every request requires two headers:

bash

Authorization: Bearer $GLEAP_TOKEN
Project: $GLEAP_PROJECT

• GLEAP_TOKEN — JWT service account token. Get it from Gleap dashboard → Settings → API.
• GLEAP_PROJECT — Your project ID. Found in Gleap dashboard URL or Settings.

Base URL#

text

https://api.gleap.io/v3

Rate limit#

1000 requests per 60 seconds per project.

Test your connection#

bash

curl -s "https://api.gleap.io/v3/statistics/facts?chartType=NEW_TICKETS_COUNT&startDate=$(date -u -v-7d +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00.000Z)&endDate=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT23:59:59.999Z)" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GLEAP_TOKEN" \
  -H "Project: $GLEAP_PROJECT" | jq .

If this returns a JSON object with title and value, you're connected.

API overview#

The Gleap API has 6 main endpoint families:

EndpointPurposeWhen to use/statistics/factsSingle aggregate KPI"How many tickets this week?"/statistics/bar-chartTime-series data"Show me ticket trends over the last 30 days"/statistics/listsTabular data (agents, tickets)"How is each agent performing?"/statistics/lists/exportCSV export of list data"Export team performance as CSV"/statistics/heatmapVolume by hour/weekday"When are our busiest support hours?"/statistics/raw-dataIndividual event records"Show me every ticket action today"/ticketsTicket objects"Get actual ticket details"

All endpoints accept these common parameters:

• startDate — ISO 8601 (e.g., 2026-04-01T00:00:00.000Z)
• endDate — ISO 8601 (e.g., 2026-04-04T23:59:59.999Z)
• timezone — IANA timezone (e.g., Europe/Paris, America/New_York)

For the full endpoint reference with all chartType values, response structures, and examples, read references/endpoints.md.

Common request pattern#

bash

curl -s "https://api.gleap.io/v3/statistics/{endpoint}?chartType={CHART_TYPE}&startDate={START}&endDate={END}&timezone={TZ}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GLEAP_TOKEN" \
  -H "Project: $GLEAP_PROJECT" | jq .

Always use -s (silent) and pipe to jq for clean output.

Date helpers#

bash

# Today
TODAY=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00.000Z)
TODAY_END=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT23:59:59.999Z)

# Yesterday
YESTERDAY=$(date -u -v-1d +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00.000Z)
YESTERDAY_END=$(date -u -v-1d +%Y-%m-%dT23:59:59.999Z)

# Last 7 days
WEEK_AGO=$(date -u -v-7d +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00.000Z)

# Last 30 days
MONTH_AGO=$(date -u -v-30d +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00.000Z)

for metric in NEW_TICKETS_COUNT MEDIAN_FIRST_RESPONSE_TIME MEDIAN_TIME_TO_CLOSE; do
  echo "=== $metric ==="

    -H "Project: $GLEAP_PROJECT" | jq '{metric: .title, value: .value, unit: .valueUnit, change_pct: .progressValue}'
done

Busiest hours analysis#

bash

curl -s "https://api.gleap.io/v3/statistics/heatmap?chartType=BUSIEST_HOURS_PER_WEEKDAY&startDate=$MONTH_AGO&endDate=$TODAY_END&timezone=Europe/Paris" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GLEAP_TOKEN" \

Important notes#

• Time values are in seconds. rawValue: 6570.52 = 6570 seconds = ~1.8 hours. Always convert for display.
• Team average is always the last row in TEAM_PERFORMANCE_LIST data. Identify it by checking if the name contains "Team average".
• progressValue = % change vs the previous equivalent period. Positive = increase, negative = decrease.
• The Project header is mandatory. Without it, the API returns 400.
• Pagination: For /statistics/raw-data and /tickets, use limit and skip parameters. Default limit is ~10000 for raw-data.
• Tickets endpoint returns in chronological order (oldest first) with no native date filtering — filter client-side by createdAt.
