Available APIs

A range of APIs are available for both front-end and backend communications.

Frontend APIs

  • Interaction SDK: the frontend development SDK is provided for developers wishing to embed or build apps. The SDK includes libraries which wrap other APIs such as Identify and Gamify.

  • Public Feeds: these are JSON feeds provided as an alternative way for a client app to access published content and listings by client applications. They are hosted on a CDN and have high-volume capacity. They are used to avoid making more resource-hungry socket connections to the platform.

  • Gamify API: this provides leaderboards and other user scoring data, available on request.

  • Geo-Verify API: this is a low level API used by some Monterosa solutions to allow and disallow access to Events or Projects based on location with configuration of per-region access, languages and error messaging. It uses MaxMind to power geo-detection. The public API is only available to developers where the backend Extension is enabled in App Spec and a support ticket must be raised for customers wanting to use this.

Backend APIs

Backend APIs available include:

  • Control API: This is the most powerful backend API available. It provides a way to dynamically control event, element and all content creation within the platform, and the way to extract data. The Control API is used to connect M/IC to external content management systems, TV graphics and other systems.

  • Fan API (preview): this is a new consolidated API for both client and server, providing authenticated access to user profiles. Like most other APIs the primary route of access is via the SDK.
