Summary

REST API allows applications to exchange data.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer, which is a software architectural style that defines a set of constraints to be used for creating web services.

API stands for Application Programming Interface, which is a computing interface that defines interactions between multiple software intermediaries.

Why do you need a REST API?

Instead of exchanging data manually between applications (such as exporting a list of users from another application and uploading it to SpotMe), the REST API allows you to directly exchange data between applications and SpotMe.

This is possible thanks to a list of API endpoints that SpotMe has developed, where each endpoint allows you to pull or push data from/to SpotMe.

With the SpotMe API you will be able to pull or push;

• Users (including their photos).
• Speakers/moderators (including their photos).
• Sessions.
• Session tags & registrations.
• Sponsors (including their assets).

And many more...
