Shiftboard Web Services Information

Shiftboard offers a rich set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to allow external systems to interact with the Shiftboard platform. These APIs take the form of JSON-RPC web service calls or Webhooks. Most Shiftboard application, account, authorization, systems management, and site provisioning data is accessible and the API is continually extended to encompass more of the Shiftboard data and functionality. All requests and responses are encoded using JavaScript Object Notation ( JSON) and encrypted using 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer ( SSL). Unencrypted requests are not accepted. Using JSON, HMAC, and Base64 libraries, it should be easy to create, update, list and delete objects within the Shiftboard application. These libraries should be available for all programming languages. All requests include your organization's unique Access Key ID and are digitally signed by computing an HMAC SHA1 signature of the request with your private (secret) Signature Key. Your private Signature Key should NEVER be transmitted or shared with anyone. Please see the Requests section for details on making digitally signed requests.
