Rest ADF/XML API

Calldrip's REST APIs provide access to resources (data entities) via URI paths. To use a REST API, your application will make an HTTP request and parse the response. By default, the response format is JSON.

{primary} ADF/XML API allows lead data to be sent into your Calldrip account via POST method.

Because the REST API is based on open standards, you can use any web development language to access the API. the REST API enables developers to access core function of Calldrip. If you're building an application that leverages core Calldrip objects, then this is the API for you. Imagine building an interface which enhances your curent offering in a matter of minutes - all with a few REST API calls. In addition to offering programmatic access to widgets, this API also enables developers a multitude of integration opportunities to interact with Calldrip. Through the REST API, the user can create and post real-time calls, and set options with each call.
