Cobot’s API enables you to extend and customize your space beyond our built-in features, plugins, and integrations. It gives you access to data you need to build unique solutions for your coworking space — from advanced door access workflows to automated café bots.
API Versions
Cobot currently offers API 2, our newest and actively developed version.
Our original API 1 remains available but is now considered legacy.
REST API
Our REST APIs offer programmatic access to most Cobot features. If you need additional endpoints for your use case, let us know — we’re happy to help.

Bots
If you want to build user interfaces that integrate directly with Cobot using only client-side JavaScript, explore Cobot Bots. Bots provide built-in OAuth handling and other conveniences, making it easy to create lightweight add-ons without a server backend.
When you create a bot, you can embed it in Cobot as an iframe, the original method, or as a single-page app. Embedding as a single-page app has some technical advantages, including no more cookie issues in Safari and easier styling.
