A Whole New Level of Awesome: Using the Bridge API Follow
Article and videos originally created by Joshua Pope, we loved it so much we wanted to make it a permanent article in our guides.
Whether you are wanting to just learn something new, perform tasks yourself that it seems only Support can do, or just reach a whole new level of awesome, you can do it all by learning to use the Bridge API.
The Bridge API is like a secret back door into Bridge that gives you wizard level capabilities to manipulate every detail the system contains about learners, their enrollments, courses, and everything else that's in there. You can do a lot with the Bridge admin interface, but you can do it ALL with Bridge API.
If you've never worked with an API before and/or don't have a lot of experience with coding, don't feel intimidated. The Bridge API is a tool to help you, not scare you off.
To help get you going, I've created a series of videos that start with the most simple task of just downloading Postman, the application that runs API requests to Bridge. Each video takes you step by step through the basics of the API and gets you on your way.
You won't learn how to do everything under the sun in the videos, but in the next 27 minutes and 48 seconds, you'll learn enough to be dangerous and start making some magic. You can use the principles you learn in just about any situation in which you find yourself needing the API. Go ahead, dive in.

I would be very interested in participating in a webinar on the Bridge API! Hopefully something like this can be setup for Bridge customers?
Hi Beatrice,
I'll let the team know this is something you'd be interested in. We'll see if we can get something set up like that soon!
Where can I find the API docs?
Hey Steve,
Here is a link to the API Doc that we have. It lists out all the public calls that are available.
