Application Program Interface Protocols

If you are developing software with a built-in text editor or a web application with text fields, you can easily integrate access to Antidote’s corrector, dictionaries and guides. Simply implement the appropriate API (Application Program Interface) protocol below so that your users can take advantage of our powerful correction tool.

Get in touch if you are thinking of implementing these protocols. That way, we can let Antidote’s users know about your software or application. Please note that your users will still need to purchase and install a copy of Antidote (locally or on a server).

WebSocket (Windows, macOS and Linux)

This API, based on WebSocket technology, allows you to integrate Antidote with your application. Version 1.0 of the API is available with Connectix 11 v1.1. Documentation to follow (please contact us at assistance_integration@druide.com for more details)

COM API for Windows
