There is one way to access our data:
- DOCS:#REST API[REST API|]: A publisher REST API exposes location and other information
...
Integration of our full-site menus is done in one of the following ways:
- DOCS:#JavaScript JavaScript API: A JavaScript API that inserts menus directly into a div element on the restaurant location page
- This is the current standard way of doing website mashups / integrations. The user stays on the publisher site using this method of integration.
- REST API: Publisher can display real-time menu content by displaying SinglePlatform's JSON data directly from the side of the publisher.
- To do this, every service call to retrieve a data point will need to come through the REST API. The publisher will make a server side request for JSON from SinglePlatform, which can be parsed/formatted on the publisher's side and served to the client from the publisher.
- This works with REST API data integration method
- This method would miss functionality we add around menus, such as item likes, item out-of-date, chef's choice items, daily/weekly specials, and our "Suggest a Change to this Menu" feedback loop.
