API for Dummies Please

   I am completely lost with the API and what we produce from them. I see several good examples but have no idea how the API gets me to that.

   Someone please explain this to me like I'm 3 years old or refer me someplace.

   Much much thanks!

   Hi Kelley,

   The Active APIs are used to get information about events and activities stored within our database. They allow developers to build web-based applications to display the information however they like, as seen in the API Gallery. We only require that they follow our brand guidelines.

   The 'Documentation' tab above will give you all the details about the methods, parameters, and details about each API. If you are unfamiliar with using APIs to dynamically display information, I would suggest using our widgets to display information on your website. You can view and customize our widgets here: http://widgets.active.com/.

   If you'd like to earn commissions on events that are registered through your website, then you can sign up to become and affiliate and then create your widget. Sign up here: http://www.activenetwork.com/affiliates.htm

   Let me know if you have any other questions.

   Best regards,

   Jarred
