Management API

The Management API is a RESTful interface to any action you can do in your account of the CraftAR Service.

Use the Management API to integrate CraftAR functionalities in your applications and services. It allows you to programmatically access and manipulate all resources found in CraftAR.

The API follows a RESTful architecture, uses HTTPS exclusively and accepts and returns JSON. This document contains a detailed description of the API calls.

We provide PHP and Python libraries for the Management API. Thanks to our customers, we also have implementations of this API for .NET, and Ruby.
