Public API
Today, we’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of the Webex Events API! To our amazing customers eagerly awaiting this capability, your time has come.
If you’re reading this and wondering what an API is, here’s the scoop. Essentially, API (short for Application Programming Interface) lets two separate systems communicate with each other and exchange information. This means that your developer can use an API to bring data to Webex Events from other online platforms, and vice versa.
Automate Event and product setup and management, integrate with third-party platforms, generate powerful multi-event data dashboards, and more — the world is your oyster! In broad strokes, here’s what an API can do in Webex Events:
- Create new data, like an attendee, a Session, or a whole Event.
- Update anything the API can create, plus more. For example, the API can create a new attendee, and then edit that attendee's name, email, status, groups, phone numbers, and social accounts.
- Read information, including anything the API can create or edit.
- Delete anything the API can create, with some exceptions.
How do I get access to the API?
If you’re a Suite Enterprise Agreement (Suite EA) customer and Webex Events is activated for your organization, you automatically get access to the Webex Events API! For all other customers, talk to your Webex Events contact or our support team to learn about accessing the API.
What do I need to get started?
You’re going to need a developer who knows a bit about APIs, a strategy, and an API sandbox. Our Getting Started with the Webex Events API article has everything you need to begin your API journey.
Ticket widget language selection
The Registration ticket widget lets you embed all ticket options directly on your website. While attendees could select a language on the Registration website, there was no option to select a different language on the ticket widget. Today, that all changes. Now, registrants browsing tickets embedded in your website can select from the over 30 languages we currently support.
That's all for today, folks! Here are your next steps:
