Heritage APIs (SiteVisitor and Others)

Mon, 04/21/2008 - 15:07 — Anonymous

As the newest members of our API family, the Constant Contact REST APIs cover only a subset of the Constant Contact capabilities. Adopters can apply the newer REST APIs with any of the existing API functionality.



In addition to the new RestAPIs covered in the API reference section, Constant Contact has four other API families. One of those APIs, the broadly adopted SiteVisitorAPI, is appropriate for any Constant Contact Account Holder. The other three APIs are designed for, and restricted to, Constant Contact Partner organizations.

For more information on the existing APIs, and on using the APIs in conjunction with the REST APIs, see the following sections:
