Connecting

Your client makes a API key in their Prelude settings and pastes it on their link. Operate As tries it with Prelude before saving it, and stores it encrypted. See Services connected with an API key.

Check they're connected
curl https://api.operate.as/v1/me/clients \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"
Response
[  {    "id": "6f1c2a7e-...",    "name": "Miller Dental",    "services": [      "prelude"    ]  }]

Tools

Install Prelude's typed package for your language:

pip install operate-as-prelude
Run prelude.add_phone_number_to_allow_or_block
curl -X POST https://api.operate.as/v1/actions/prelude.add_phone_number_to_allow_or_block \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY" \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{    "clientId": "6f1c2a7e-...",    "input": {      "action": "<action>"    }  }'

Shows the required inputs. Every input, with its JSON Schema: GET /v1/actions/prelude.add_phone_number_to_allow_or_block

Response
{  "status": 200,  "data": {    "…": "the service's own response"  },  "encoding": "json"}

Pass-through

Paths continue from https://api.prelude.dev/v2. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

Call any endpoint
curl "https://api.operate.as/v1/clients/6f1c2a7e-.../preludePOST /verification" \  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"
Response
{  "status": 200,  "data": {    "…": "the service's own response"  },  "encoding": "json"}

When access ends

A key works until your client deletes it in Prelude. They can paste a new one on the same link at any time, and your workflows carry on without changes.

See Keeping access alive and Removing access.

Calls answer, once the key is deleted
{  "status": 401,  "data": {    "…": "the service's own error"  },  "encoding": "json"}
