Developer API

Developers: Start your engines.
The ServiceSidekick API has just been released!
Not a developer? Wondering what the heck an API is?
API stands for Application programming interface. An API is a standard and documented way to allow third-parties to write software that integrates with your product.
What this means is that other developers, customers and partners can create products that integrate, synchronize, and work with ServiceSidekick. Example applications of the API:
- You have a lead form on your web site. When a lead request comes in you could use the API to automatically import that lead data into ServiceSidekick.
- You are migrating to ServiceSidekick from another software vendor and would like to import all historical customer, job, notes, and contact data in a particular way. The API is the perfect tool for this scenario.
- You have a GPS device and you'd like to download your route for tomorrows jobs. Using the API a program could be written to do exactly this.
I hope these short examples provide a glimpse as to what is possible using our API. Head over to the API Documentation page for more info.
