What is an API?

API means Application Programming Interface. APIs allow programs or external websites (third-parties) to communicate with Calaméo and to exchange information. These exchanges allow developers to create practical programs or services using data from Calaméo.For example, you could make a calendar with your publications, or improve the way you use Calaméo thanks to tools or features that Calaméo doesn’t offer directly.

For example, you could use one of our API’s methods to list the publications of one of your subscription groups. The call will send all the information in raw XML format (Extensible Markup Language). You can then receive this information and display pages containing the list of your publications on your website.

The Calaméo API is usable whatever the platform and programming languaghe you are using, for it uses international standards: WSDL, SOAP et XML :

  • A WSDL file describes the Calaméo API in a standard way
  • SOAP is the messages transmission protocol between your apllication and the Calaméo API
  • Data exchanged is in a XML format.
