ScreenCloud

ScreenCloud is a cloud digital signage platform that turns any screen into a managed display for content, dashboards, and apps. Its developer surface is the ScreenCloud Studio API - a single public GraphQL endpoint (bearer-token authenticated, region-specific, copied from the DEVELOPER tab in Studio) that lets you automate anything you can do in Studio by hand - pairing and managing screens, building playlists and channels, uploading media and files, casting content, installing and configuring signage apps, and exporting playback logs and QR metrics. ScreenCloud also runs a Developer Platform / App framework for building custom HTML/JavaScript signage apps that can be published (with approval) to the App Store. There is no documented public WebSocket API - the Studio API is request/response GraphQL over HTTPS.

ScreenCloud publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Digital Signage, Screens, Content Management, GraphQL, and Media.

ScreenCloud’s developer surface includes documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
