Updated over 2 weeks ago

SocialPoint's endpoints allow you to gather, update and push data on your existing Trivia Games to take attendee interaction to the next level.

Here are the most popular ways in which our customers use the endpoints:


Allowing access with a Password

This feature works best when you already have a list of registered participants and you want the API to allow access with a password.

If this is your case, you want to follow these steps:

  1. Setup a Trivia Game in the backend. Do this by navigating to Trivia > Configurations and clicking on the blue "Add" button. Be sure to select

  2. Navigate to Trivia > Players and upload your player list, making sure you set a password for each player using the PIN column. Click here to learn more about uploading players into the game.

  3. Get your API key and add it to your code.

  4. Set your requests using the PIN as your variable.

  5. Test the code and watch out for the responses you get back from us.

  6. Navigate to Trivia > Players to make sure the data being transferred over matches what you have on your platform.


Retrieving player data from a Trivia game

This feature is used by organizations who want to transfer scores from SocialPoint into their platform for multiple uses: leaderboards, rewards, data-tracking, cross-platform challenges, etc.

Follow these steps to access our endpoint and gather participant data:

  1. Get your API key and add it to your code.

  2. Set your requests to GET the information you need from your players. Choose from any of the variables available.
