Petitions Version 2
This document describes the OSDI petitions collection and petition resource as implemented by the Action Network.
Petitions are a type of action created by the organizer or group associated with your API key that involves activists signing a common letter directed towards a target.
Petitions have names (corresponding to our administrative titles), titles, and can have descriptions and targets and other fields, and when activists sign them signature resources are created representing the signature an activist made on that petition.
Petitions are not deduplicated except on identifiers, to keep identifiers unique. Identifiers are deduplicated globally, across groups and API keys, so ensure any you set are globally unique.
Note: Petitions created via the API are not equivalent to petitions created with our user interface. API-created petitions will not show up in lists of all of your actions on your dashboard of group page, they will not be given a URL on actionnetwork.org where people can sign, they will not send autoresponses, and they will not have individual manage pages for statistics and delivery. Rather, once they have at least one signature, they will show up as actions available for selection in our targeting interface, allowing you to select all people who have taken action on that petition for reports or email targeting.

Endpoints and URL structures
Endpoints:
https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/petitions
Petition resources live exclusively at the above endpoint. The endpoint returns a collection of all the petitions associated with your API key.
URL Structures:
https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/petitions/[id]
To address a specific petition, use the identifier without the action_network: prefix to construct a URL, like https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/petitions/d91b4b2e-ae0e-4cd3-9ed7-d0ec501b0bc3
Field names and descriptions
Petition fields:
| Field Name | Type | Required on POST | Description |

Scenario: Creating a new petition (POST)
You can post a new petition to the petitions endpoint and a petition resource will be created in our system.
Note: Petitions created via the API in this way are not equivalent to petitions created with our user interface. API-created petitions will not show up in lists of all of your actions on your dashboard of group page, they will not be given a URL on actionnetwork.org where people can sign, they will not send autoresponses, and they will not have individual manage pages for statistics and delivery. Rather, once they have at least one signature, they will show up as actions available for selection in our targeting interface, allowing you to select all people who have taken action on that petition for reports or email targeting.
In the targeting interface, they will show up in the format [1, (origin system) Petition], (title). For example, a petition with the origin system 'FreePetitions.com' and the title 'My Free Petition' will show up in the targeting interface as [1, FreePetitions.com Petition], My Free Petition so you can easily identify what it is and where it came from when doing your targeting.

In the above example, you can see how the foreign identifier being posted is merged into the identifiers array. We will intelligently search and deduplicate based on foreign and native identifiers. So if you post a petition with an identifier that matches one already assigned to a petition resource, your POST request will update that resource with new information instead of creating a duplicate. Identifiers are deduplicated globally, across groups and API keys, so ensure any you set are globally unique.
You can post a petition with a creator link as well, if you want to assign the petition to a specific Action Network user, like so:
POST https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/petitions Header: Content-Type: application/json OSDI-API-Token: your_api_key_here{ "title": "My Free Petition", "origin_system": "FreePetitions.com", "_links" : { "osdi:creator" : { "href" : "https://actionnetwork.org/api/v2/people/c945d6fe-929e-11e3-a2e9-12313d316c29" } } }
The link must be a valid person resource and must be associated with your API key for it to be accepted. If your API key is for an individual account, then the link must be to your account's person resource. If your API key is for a group, then the link must be to a member of administrator of your group. If no link or an invalid link is provided, the petition will be assigned to your API key's account person record or to the original creator of the group, whichever is appropriate. If a creator is explicitly set, people who take action will be added to that creator's personal email list. Otherwise, who the creator is has no effect on what email list people who sign the petition are subscribed to.
And of course you can post a petition with more fields (such as description) if you'd like, but they are not required.
Back To Top ↑Scenario: Modifying a petition (PUT)
You can modify an existing petition by using PUT on its individual endpoint.

The above example changed the title and added a description.
Editing of certain fields via PUT is not allowed, and is noted in the field names table above. For example, you can't change the total_signatures count -- that is a system generated number reflecting a count of the underlying signatures. And you can't change a creator of a petition. Invalid entries will be ignored.
Back To Top ↑Scenario: Deleting a petition (DELETE)
Deleting petitions is not allowed via the API. DELETE requests will return an error.
