NING is not just a great tool for creating online communities. It is also a very versatile software platform you can use to develop your own applications. Yes, we are that flexible!
This is made possible thanks to NING API (our own application programming interface). What is it, and how can you benefit from using it? Find out during our live webinar on September 26th, at 2 p.m. (ET).
Here’s a brief overview of the discussion:
- What kind of data can be obtained through API?
- How to generate a key, token, and signature to be added to the header of an API call?
- What are the rules of making API calls for obtaining different data?
- What kind of objects are returned after an API call, and what are their properties?
Are you interested in integrating the NING functionality with other apps? Then you are welcome to join us online on our YouTube channel at the designated time!
See you soon!
Sincerely,
NING Team

"The current version of API does not have a facility to work with video, events, polls, music features, but the newer version of API will have that facility.
The newer version of API is going to be released by the end of October - beginning of November this year."
What's new with the Ning API? Are we now able to use what you have? And did you release a "newer version"?
Where can we find the video if we missed it?
Hey man :) The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjxw5H8ILoA
Hi!
Usually, a record is being uploaded to the youtube channel within a week after the webinar. You can check it here.

I notice that this webinar is a very technical course.
We are interested if you can specify us exactly what we can do more precisely with the NING API application? Describe exactly the facilities that may be useful to us. If we know more exactly what we could do with NING API then we will be able to make a decision whether or not we are interested in this application.
For example, we are interested that for the platform (network) that we developed on NING, we have a possibility that it can be downloaded from the PlayStore and can be used on mobile phones, which are much more used than desktop computers. As Facebook goes on the desktop and as an application on mobile phones, so does our platform from NING. May ? Do we have solutions for this?
Hi there!
Thank you for your feedback!
I was told that Vladimir has already answered your questions via email, but I will quote it just in case:
"Ning API could be used to create external applications.
You could check here what type of data could be synchronized with 3rd party through our API: https://www.ning.com/ning3help/ning-v2-api-documentation/
The current version of API does not have a facility to work with video, events, polls, music features, but the newer version of API will have that facility.
The newer version of API is going to be released by the end of October - beginning of November this year.
With a help of API, it is possible to build application that could be downloaded through PlayStore."

Cool!
