Calaméo API Reloaded! Now as a RESTful Service.

Friday, Oct 30th, 2009

Since its launch, the Calaméo platform has provided a SOAP API for PREMIUM and PLATINUM members to publish and manage their documents from third party websites and applications.

Today, Calaméo launches its new and improved REST-based API with better response times and of course more features.

Take a look at the documentation center to learn more about it:

As always, we welcome any feedback on our support community.

Note: The previous SOAP-based API will continue to work for a while but will not be upgraded or improved any more. We strongly encourage you to migrate to the REST-based API. The deprecated documentation is still available here.
