Introducing the Virtual Classroom API

Jessica Meyer -

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Virtual Classroom API, which lets third-party developers integrate BrainCert Virtual Classroom into their websites for added functionality and new features. Now thousands of BrainCert customers can Schedule Live Classes, Collect Payments, Collaborate using HD audio/video conference, Record Sessions in HD as .MP4 file - all from their own website.

   


As of today, we officially open—to all developers—access to many of the features that power BrainCert’s affordable and powerful Virtual Classroom experience. 

Enter the Virtual Classroom API.

BrainCert provides a RESTful interface to the resources in the Virtual Classroom e.g. classes, video recordings, shopping cart, etc. Once your  API key has authenticated a BrainCert user, it can call a REST API endpoint using the obtained access token and get the corresponding resources. A simple example is getting the authenticated user's list of live classes using the API endpoint.

If you are new to REST, you can understand the basics at http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/REST. Please note that the endpoints support JSON (recommended) and XML. The documentation allows you to get responses using JSON or XML where relevant.

Virtual Classroom API supports scheduling and launching live classes, record sessions in HD (MP4 format), HD audio/video conference, desktop sharing, group chat, file sharing, interactive whiteboards, share presentations, sell classes using shopping cart, create discount coupons - all from within your own website.
