In the MindMeld developer center, we have laid out detailed documentation that will help you gain a broader understanding of how our API works. In the video above, learn how to navigate through the documentation so you can easily locate the information you need to start building apps with the MindMeld platform.
TRANSCRIPT:
In this video, I will walk you through the MindMeld API’s extensive online documentation so you can get started using our platform to supercharge your search results. First, point your browser to developer.expectlabs.com. Then, click on the Documentation link. Once you’re on the documentation page, you’ll see a number of useful sections that will give you deeper look into our platform. The “sending requests” section will tell you a how you can send requests to the MindMeld platform and the “handling requests” sections shows you what the responses look like. Right here, you can get more detail about how authentication works and how you can get and use tokens that let you make calls to the back-end API.
There’s more detail about how you can use the search query syntax to sort and filter the results that you get from MindMeld, as well as some more information about how you can use custom ranking factors, push events, and how to optimize the pages indexed by MindMeld by customizing the fields that our crawler reads.
If you go to the API endpoints section of the documentation, you will see detailed information for every endpoint that is supported by the API. You can click on any one of these endpoints and see an example of what a request looks like and a description of the parameters supported by each request. You can also see a sample response for each one and a description of the fields that will get returned in each response.
Here, you can find more detail about the client libraries that are supported by MindMeld. Right now, we have libraries available forJavaScript applications, Android applications, as well as iOS applications. There’s a Getting Started page for each so you can download the code and begin building apps today. And last but not least, there’s a section which includes other help videos like this one that we’ll continue to create to so you can easily use our API to build better search apps.
