HeyWatch Developers

Welcome to the HeyWatch Developers site. If you’re new, you should start with the Getting started section before reading the API documentation.

Getting started

First you need to create an HeyWatch account here if not already done.

API

Our API is based on REST principles and is compatible with all the languages. You just have to make an HTTP request to the right resource and the right describing method, it’s that simple.

Authentication

All requests must be authenticated with your HeyWatch username and password. The only method is basic auth.

Responses

Hey!Watch can send you the response in XML and JSON formats. Just add the right extension like “.xml” and “.json” at the end of the URI like https://heywatch.com/format.xml or https://heywatch.com/format.json

You can also use the header to specify what you want thanks to the header “Accept”. For example, for XML format, you have to add the following header to the request: “Accept: application/xml”. For JSON: “Accept: application/json”

Limits

There is no limit, you can use the HeyWatch API the way you want.
