You can view the currently authorised admin along with the embedded app object (a "workspace" in legacy terminology).
<blockquote>
🚧 Single Sign On
If you are building a custom "Log in with Intercom" flow for your site, and you call the <code>/me</code> endpoint to identify the logged-in user, you should not accept any sign-ins from users with unverified email addresses as it poses a potential impersonation security risk.

List attached segments for companies

      The `list all companies` functionality does not work well for huge datasets, and can result in errors and performance problems when paging deeply. The Scroll API provides an efficient mechanism for iterating over all companies in a dataset.

- Each app can only have 1 scroll open at a time. You'll get an error message if you try to have more than one open per app.
- If the scroll isn't used for 1 minute, it expires and calls with that scroll param will fail
- If the end of the scroll is reached, "companies" will be empty and the scroll parameter will expire

> 📘 Scroll Parameter
>
> You can get the first page of companies by simply sending a GET request to the scroll endpoint. For subsequent requests you will need to use the scroll parameter from the response.

> ❗️ Scroll network timeouts
>
> Since scroll is often used on large datasets network errors such as timeouts can be encountered. When this occurs you will need to restart your scroll query as it is not possible to continue from a specific point when using scroll.
>
> When this occurs you will see a HTTP 500 error with the following message:
> "Request failed due to an internal network error. Please restart the scroll operation."


Scroll over all companies

You can list companies. The company list is sorted by the `last_request_at` field and by default is ordered descending, most recently requested first.

Note that the API does not include companies who have no associated users in list responses.

> 📘
>
> When using the Companies endpoint and the pages object to iterate through the returned companies, there is a limit of 10,000 Companies that can be returned. If you need to list or iterate on more than 10,000 Companies, please use the [Scroll API](https://developers.intercom.com/reference#iterating-over-all-companies).

You can fetch a list of subscription types that are attached to a contact. These can be subscriptions that a user has 'opted-in' to or has 'opted-out' from, depending on the subscription type.
This will return a list of Subscription Type objects that the contact is associated with.

The data property will show a combined list of:

  1.Opt-out subscription types that the user has opted-out from.
  2.Opt-in subscription types that the user has opted-in to receiving.


List subscriptions for a contact

You can add a specific subscription to a contact. In Intercom, we have two different subscription types based on user consent - opt-out and opt-in:

  1.Attaching a contact to an opt-out subscription type will opt that user out from receiving messages related to that subscription type.

  2.Attaching a contact to an opt-in subscription type will opt that user in to receiving messages related to that subscription type.

This will return a subscription type model for the subscription type that was added to the contact.

You can search for multiple contacts by the value of their attributes in order to fetch exactly who you want.

To search for contacts, you need to send a POST request to `https://api.intercom.io/contacts/search`. This will accept a query object in the body which will define your filters in order to search for contacts.

> 🚧 Why is there a delay when creating contacts and searching for them?
>
> If a contact has recently been created, there is a possibility that it will not yet be available when searching. This means that it may not appear in the response. This delay can take a few minutes. If you need to be instantly notified then you could use webhooks instead, which you'd currently have to iterate on to see if they match your search filters.

> 🚧 Nesting & Limitations
>
> You can nest these filters in order to get even more granular insights that pinpoint exactly what you need. Example: (1 OR 2) AND (3 OR 4).
> There are some limitations to the amount of multiple's there can be:
> * There's a limit of max 2 nested filters
> * There's a limit of max 15 filters for each AND or OR group

> 🚧 Searching for Timestamp Fields

> All timestamp fields (created_at, updated_at etc.) are indexed as Dates for Contact Search queries; Datetime queries are not currently supported. This means you can only query for timestamp fields by day - not hour, minute or second.
> For example, if you search for all Contacts with a created_at value greater (>) than 1577869200 (the UNIX timestamp for January 1st, 2020 9:00 AM), that will be interpreted as 1577836800 (January 1st, 2020 12:00 AM). The search results will then include Contacts created from January 2nd, 2020 12:00 AM onwards.
> If you'd like to get contacts created on January 1st, 2020 you should search with a created_at value equal (=) to 1577836800 (January 1st, 2020 12:00 AM).
> This behaviour applies only to timestamps used in search queries. The search results will still contain the full UNIX timestamp and be sorted accordingly.

### Accepted Fields

Most key listed as part of the Contacts Model are searchable, whether writeable or not. The value you search for has to match the accepted type, otherwise the query will fail (ie. as `created_at` accepts a date, the `value` cannot be a string such as `"foorbar"`).

> 🚧
>
> Please note that you can only 'list' events that are less than 90 days old. Event counts and summaries will still include your events older than 90 days but you cannot 'list' these events individually if they are older than 90 days

The events belonging to a customer can be listed by sending a GET request to `https://api.intercom.io/events` with a user or lead identifier along with a `type` parameter. The identifier parameter can be one of `user_id`, `email` or `intercom_user_id`. The `type` parameter value must be `user`.

- `https://api.intercom.io/events?type=user&user_id={user_id}`
- `https://api.intercom.io/events?type=user&email={email}`
- `https://api.intercom.io/events?type=user&intercom_user_id={id}` (this call can be used to list leads)

The `email` parameter value should be [url encoded](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding) when sending.

You can optionally define the result page size as well with the `per_page` parameter.


List all data events


You will need an Access Token that has write permissions to send Events. Once you have a key you can submit events via POST to the Events resource, which is located at https://api.intercom.io/events, or you can send events using one of the client libraries. When working with the HTTP API directly a client should send the event with a `Content-Type` of `application/json`.

When using the JavaScript API, [adding the code to your app](http://docs.intercom.io/configuring-Intercom/tracking-user-events-in-your-app) makes the Events API available. Once added, you can submit an event using the `trackEvent` method. This will associate the event with the Lead or currently logged-in user or logged-out visitor/lead and send it to Intercom. The final parameter is a map that can be used to send optional metadata about the event.

With the Ruby client you pass a hash describing the event to `Intercom::Event.create`, or call the `track_user` method directly on the current user object (e.g. `user.track_event`).

> 🚧 Lead Events
>
> When submitting events for Leads, you will need to specify the Lead's `id`.

> 📘 Metadata behaviour
>
> - We currently limit the number of tracked metadata keys to 10 per event. Once the quota is reached, we ignore any further keys we receive. The first 10 metadata keys are determined by the order in which they are sent in with the event.
> - It is not possible to change the metadata keys once the event has been sent. A new event will need to be created with the new keys and you can archive the old one.
> - There might be up to 24 hrs delay when you send a new metadata for an existing event.

> 📘 Event de-duplication
>
> The API may detect and ignore duplicate events. Each event is uniquely identified as a combination of the following data - the Workspace identifier, the Contact external identifier, the Data Event name and the Data Event created time. As a result, it is **strongly recommended** to send a second granularity Unix timestamp in the `created_at` field.
>
> Duplicated events are responded to using the normal `202 Accepted` code - an error is not thrown, however repeat requests will be counted against any rate limit that is in place.

### HTTP API Responses

- Successful responses to submitted events return `202 Accepted` with an empty body.
- Unauthorised access will be rejected with a `401 Unauthorized` or `403 Forbidden` response code.
- Events sent about users that cannot be found will return a `404 Not Found`.
- Event lists containing duplicate events will have those duplicates ignored.
- Server errors will return a `500` response code and may contain an error message in the body.



Submit a data event

Create event summaries for a user. Event summaries are used to track the number of times an event has occurred, the first time it occurred and the last time it occurred.

You can view the status of your job by sending a `GET` request to the URL
`https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data/{job_identifier}` - the `{job_identifier}` is the value returned in the response when you first created the export job. More on it can be seen in the Export Job Model.

> 🚧 Jobs expire after two days
> All jobs that have completed processing (and are thus available to download from the provided URL) will have an expiry limit of two days from when the export ob completed. After this, the data will no longer be available.


Show content data export

When a job has a status of complete, and thus a filled download_url, you can download your data by hitting that provided URL, formatted like so: https://api.intercom.io/download/content/data/xyz1234.

Your exported message data will be streamed continuously back down to you in a gzipped CSV format.

> 📘 Octet header required
>
> You will have to specify the header Accept: `application/octet-stream` when hitting this endpoint.


Download content data export

To create your export job, you need to send a `POST` request to the export endpoint `https://api.intercom.io/export/content/data`.

The only parameters you need to provide are the range of dates that you want exported.

>🚧 Limit of one active job
>
> You can only have one active job per workspace. You will receive a HTTP status code of 429 with the message Exceeded rate limit of 1 pending message data export jobs if you attempt to create a second concurrent job.

>❗️ Updated_at not included
>
> It should be noted that the timeframe only includes messages sent during the time period and not messages that were only updated during this period. For example, if a message was updated yesterday but sent two days ago, you would need to set the created_at_after date before the message was sent to include that in your retrieval job.

>📘 Date ranges are inclusive
>
> Requesting data for 2018-06-01 until 2018-06-30 will get all data for those days including those specified - e.g. 2018-06-01 00:00:00 until 2018-06-30 23:59:99.
