Running an Applet
API Endpoints

API Endpoints and App Access Tokens

All applets have the following API endpoints:

  • [app-slug].zipper.run/[path]/api/json: returns applet run metadata, along with the output, as JSON
  • [app-slug].zipper.run/[path]/api/yaml: returns applet run metadata, along with the output, as YAML
  • [app-slug].zipper.run/[path]/raw: returns only the output of the applet without any changes
$ curl -X POST \
       --header "Content-type:application/json" \
       --data '{ "name":"Earth"}' \
       https://greeting.zipper.run/api/json
 
{
  "ok": true,
  "data": "Hello, Earth!",
  "__meta": {
    "request": {
      "executionId": "5c74d40c-b4df-41ae-900c-3eaebb9a1d65",
      "server": "deno/aws-us-west-1",
      "timing": "system;dur=0,deployment;dur=1"
    }
  }
}

Zipper supports GET and POST requests to these endpoints. For GET requests, inputs can be supplied as query parameters. For POST requests, inputs should be provided as JSON in the body of the request.

Personal access tokens

If the output of your applet is not public (meaning users must be authenticated with Zipper before they can run the applet), then you need to provide an App Access Token as a bearer token in the Authorization header of your request. To generate an App Access Token, go to your applet settings and click Generate Token.

Your Access Tokens

Provide a description for your token, and then copy the displayed token value.

Tokens are scoped to a single applet and are tied to a particular user.

Example without token

$ curl -X GET \
       https://greeting.zipper.run/api/json?name=earth
 
{
  "ok":false,
  "error": "{\"ok\":false,\"status\":401,\"error\":\"UNAUTHORIZED\",\"errorClass\":\"Boot\"}"
}

Example with token

$ curl -X GET \
       --header "Authorization: Bearer zaat.c1507063e2094d52aa639.0d62966c224949eabda56" \
       https://greetingz.zipper.run/api/json?name=earth
 
{
  "ok": true,
  "data": "Hello, earth!",
  "__meta": {
    "request": {
      "executionId": "a8604bc4-4f2c-4a08-b5ef-8b802bc450c0",
      "server": "deno/aws-us-west-1",
      "timing": "system;dur=173,deployment;dur=15"
    }
  }
}
