There are multiple resources about working with our APIs. To make sure that you can start quickly and easily, we have listed them below.
Please note: naturally, creating an API integration or an add-on such as a chatbot requires some programming skills. Our team gladly helps you on your way by pointing out the necessary documentation, but we hope you understand that we are not equipped to respond to basic questions about the actual coding.
Your account
Before you get started you will need to register an account on our platform via https://im.alterdesk.com/. You can use this account to build and test your work.
Access – OAuth
In order to be able to use the APIs, you will need an OAuth token. We have explained how you can create an OAuth v2 token here:
https://api.alterdesk.com/documentation/oauth
The REST API
We have a REST API and a real-time API. Here you will find the documentation for our REST API: https://api.alterdesk.com/documentation
The real-time API
The documentation for our real-time API can be found here: https://api.alterdesk.com/documentation/gateway
Demo applications
Curious about what you can make with our real-time API? We have made demos for 1-on-1 conversations and group conversations.
