What kind of API is provided for accessing Yodel’s event data?
Rest API that returns JSON.
Are there any unique features your API offers that competitors don’t? API is standard. The unique part is the data returned in the API.
See this help article for description of that data.
Which features from Yodel’s user interface can also be accessed through the API?
Are there any exclusive features on the API that aren’t in the UI, or vice versa?
Ability to fully customize each individual event on your own site can only be done with the API at this time.
How will I be notified about deprecations or major updates to the API?
We make every effort to ensure that all API updates are backward compatible. In the event that a change can not be made backward compatible, a Technical Advisory Notice will be sent out prior to the update.
What data formats does the API support (e.g., JSON, XML)?
JSON
What platforms, applications, and programming languages are compatible with the API?
Most all programming languages can support JSON
Are there pre-built integrations available with third-party tools or platforms?
Info coming soon.
Do you offer any consulting services to assist with initial setup and integration?
Yes, we are happy to provide this as needed.
Does the API include functionality to identify and eliminate duplicate events?
Events will be flagged with a group_ID on the API results. Events with same group_ID will be considered potential duplicates.
Yodel acquires events from a wide variety of sources and websites. In some cases, the event source does not properly apply static event ids that Yodel can use to recognize events already in the system. In these cases, we utilize a combination of data fields as a replacement identifier. However, major event changes or the absence of event data may occasionally cause the system to still not recognize the connection. In these cases, the event is simply recreated and the old version of event is removed.
