The Haystack Networking API

Welcome to the Haystack API page

Haystack networking can easily be included in your own applications or integrated with your corporate, association or organizational website using the Haystack API (Application Programming Interface). We also provide a software development kit (SDK) to enable you to get up and running quickly. The Haystack SDK consists of three main parts:

  • Documentation - An overview of the Haystack RESTful Web Service commands.
  • A 'ready to use' PHP script, which considerably simplifies and speeds up the usage of the Haystack Web Service. All Web Service commands are implemented. You can easily extend the provided PHP script to suit your needs.

    You can also use this script as reference if you are planning to consume the Haystack Web Service from another language.
  • Sample PHP code (using the ready PHP script) which you can investigate in order to become more familiar and comfortable with the API. You can find online version of PHP script documentation as well as tutorial how to use it from our tutorial page
  • The Haystack SDK is free. You can download if from here: hwsapi.zip

    In order to start using the Haystack Web Service you need to request an authentication token from this page.
