Developer API

Welcome to the Gymfit.me Developer API documentation! We're building a comprehensive RESTful API that will empower developers to integrate Gymfit.me's powerful features into their own applications.

Our API will provide secure, reliable access to core platform functionality, enabling you to create innovative fitness applications, build custom integrations, and extend the Gymfit.me ecosystem in ways that benefit the entire fitness community.

🚧 Under Active Development: We're currently in the process of designing and building our Developer API. We're committed to delivering a robust, well-documented, and developer-friendly API that meets the highest standards of security and performance.

Platform Features

User Stories

Gymfit includes a built-in user stories feature that enables users to share temporary visual content with their followers. Stories allow users to post short videos or images that disappear after 24 hours, creating an engaging way to share moments, updates, and behind-the-scenes content without permanently adding to their profile feed.

Key features of the stories functionality include:

  • Media Upload: Users can post videos or images for their stories
  • Text Descriptions: Users can add captions and descriptions to their story content
  • View Analytics: Track and see who has viewed each story
  • Story Sharing: Share stories with other users across the platform

What to Expect

Planned Features

Our Developer API is being designed with the following capabilities in mind:

  • Authentication & Authorization: Secure OAuth 2.0 implementation for safe API access
  • User Management: Access to user profiles, followers, and social connections
  • Content Operations: Create, read, update, and manage posts, stories, and media
  • Social Interactions: Handle likes, comments, shares, and other engagement features
  • Messaging: Integrate direct messaging and group chat functionality
  • Marketplace Integration: Access product listings, transactions, and seller information
  • Real-time Updates: WebSocket support for live notifications and updates
  • Analytics & Insights: Access to engagement metrics and performance data

API Standards

We're committed to building an API that follows industry best practices:
