API Documentation (v1)

The CODA API is designed to let you use the CODA platform to drive displays and edit content in other ways than via the traditional CODA web site user interface. This documentation gives you an overview of what you can achieve through use of the API. There are many reasons you might wish to use the CODA API, for example:
  • Writing an alternative User Interface to CODA, such as a mobile phone application, presenting the information in a way appropriate for that platform.
  • Writing a export plugin to upload content straight to CODA from an existing application, such as photo management software.
  • Notifying CODA that content has been updated, thus causing any display showing that content to refresh.
The current API allows you to do most operations that the user can do through the traditional CODA UI, but is not yet complete. We will work on expanding the API over time, and any feedback would be greatly appreciated and should be sent to the CODA tech team.
