Overview

    In order to access your Slingshot data from another app, for example, a tasks list, a connection between Slingshot and that app has to be established. This connection can be built with the help of the Slingshot API.

    The Slingshot API uses REST principles. You can submit HTTP requests and the information will be returned in JSON format.

    Keep in mind that the requests and responses support only one type of character encoding - UTF-8.

    To start using the API, you need to first authenticate yourself. Here you can find more information about the process of authentication.

    [!NOTE] Below, you can find the general object model of Slingshot.
