Connections API

Connections API lets users build relationships like "following" or "friendship", boosting engagement and retention.

Connections API (part of the Audience API) is a high-throughput public RESTful API that enables social UX mechanics, such as one-way "following" or mutual "friendship." It allows users to form meaningful relationships within Interactive Experiences, share progress, collaborate and compete with each other, thus increasing app usage, engagement and retention.

All methods of Connections API require authentication.

GET requests are paginated to allow for potential celebrity mass-following.

Following

Following is a not-necessarily-mutual form of social engagement, where one user may follow another without requiring their explicit approval. API methods below allow a client app to retrieve the lists of "followees" and "followers" for a user, as well as manage their following.

Friendship

Following is a mutual form of social engagement, where one user makes a friendship request, that must be approved by the other user before the relationship is established. The API methods below allow a client app to retrieve a user's active friends, sent and received friend requests, and manage these lists.
