Available APIs & Libraries

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

Front-end Libraries

The platform provides libraries which enable developers to create applications that are connected to, and controlled by, LViS Studio:

• ​iOS ​

• ​Android​

• ​JavaScript​

Backend APIs

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.

• ​Leaderboards JavaScript lib: a convenient method of accessing the M/IC leaderboards service

• ​Leaderboards REST API: this allows HTTP calls to read and write Leaderboards data without using the lib.

• ​Curate JavaScript API: a simple way to retrieve curated social data from M/IC Curation.

• ​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.
