Available APIs & Libraries
A range of APIs and libraries are available for both front-end and backend communications.
The platform provides libraries which enable developers to create applications that are controlled by Studio:
Other APIs and libs available to developers are:
- 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.
- 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.
