With the growing popularity of our collaboration suite, companies and developers have been requesting Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) for deeper integration. MangoSpring is thrilled to announce MangoApps OpenAPI’s for developers and MangoApp network owners.

What is it and why should you care?

Using MangoApps OpenAPI, developers and domain owners can:

• Securely access all domain data using familiar, easy to use, RESTful interfaces. This simple integration enables domain administrators to access content generated and stored in MangoApps by their users for data mining, archiving and analysis using tools already in use within the company.
• Build custom MangoApps. Developers are now empowered to extend MangoApps and create a custom web, desktop or mobile MangoApp to meet their unique needs and exactly match the workflow requirements of their business.

The MangoApps OpenAPI’s are part of the superset of MangoApps REST architecture that powers the MangoSpring Collaboration Suite.

How does MangoApps OpenAPI work?

The MangoApps OpenAPI package is a RESTful set of secure interfaces to the backend MangoApps content server. Each request generates an XML based response or recognizable HTTP error from the MangoApps backend server.

To protect the security of your domain data, qualified developers and authenticated domain administrators must:

• Register with MangoSpring
• Receive a 16 digit API Key from MangoSpring
• Receive a unique and secret signature key from MangoSpring
• Use the proper MangoApps OpenAPI syntax defined by our MangoApps OpenAPI Document. Query syntax includes parameters to authenticate the originator of any query using the API Key and encrypted Signature.

Easy steps to get started now with MangoApps OpenAPI:

1. Send an email to openapis@mangospring.com to request your unique and secure authentication.
2. Download the MangoApps OpenAPI Document
3. Study and experiment with the Query Examples (Requests) in the OpenAPI document.
