API Endpoint

REST API Reference

By using the REST API, you can integrate our Co-browsing technology into your own application or build a thin layer around our technology. You can completely customize Surfly and automate the management of client and agent creation through the REST API.


The Surfly REST API allows you to integrate the functionality of our dashboard in a programatic manner. With our API you can do the following things:

  • Clients - Create new clients (reseller only)

  • Agents - Manage your agents

  • Sessions - Get an overview of all your sessions

  • Queue - Manipulate the incoming Queue for your agents


Below you can find detailed code examples illustrating how to make the REST calls. You will need your REST API key (which can be found in the integration panel, just below the widget code).
