DaniWeb Connect is a recommendation-driven chat network that connects users to peers around shared topics, audiences, and industries. The API exposes 67 endpoints covering conversations, messages, audiences, groups, industries, positions, autocompletes, apps, users, and webhooks, allowing third-party clients to embed DaniWeb's matchmaking and messaging into their own applications. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with explicit and implicit flows. The base URL is https://www.daniweb.com/connect/api/v4.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use DaniWeb Connect API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Embed Peer Chat into a Community Product

Add DaniWeb's matchmaking-driven chat into a partner web or mobile app so users meet peers based on shared industries and audiences. The /conversations endpoints create and search conversations, /messages handles posting, and /audiences and /groups drive who is matched. Suitable for professional communities, learning platforms, and industry forums.

Authenticate the user via OAuth, create a new conversation matched to the audience 'product-managers', and post the user's opening message into that conversation.

Webhook-Driven Notification Pipelines

Stream new conversation and message events to a downstream service for notifications, analytics, or moderation. The /webhooks endpoints register and manage subscriptions so the partner app reacts to DaniWeb activity without polling. Helpful for teams that need near-real-time presence and message alerts.

Register a webhook subscribed to new message events, route incoming payloads through a moderation function, and forward approved messages to the user's notification channel.

Industry and Position Autocomplete in Onboarding

Power onboarding pickers for industry and job position by calling DaniWeb's autocomplete endpoint instead of maintaining a custom taxonomy. The GET /autocompletes endpoint accepts a query string and returns matching candidates that align with DaniWeb's matching graph. Useful when a partner app's matching benefits from DaniWeb's existing categorisation.

Call GET /autocompletes with the user's typed query 'fin' and return up to 10 matching industry suggestions for the onboarding picker.

Audience Analytics for Community Operators

Analyse audience composition and conversation activity to inform community programming. The /audiences and /conversations endpoints expose memberships and activity metadata that can be aggregated into engagement reports. Useful for community operators measuring how matched audiences perform over time.

List all audiences for the authenticated organisation, fetch the conversation count per audience over the last 30 days, and produce a ranked engagement summary.

Agent-Operated Chat Workflows via Jentic

AI agents that mediate professional networking can call DaniWeb Connect through Jentic without storing OAuth tokens directly. The agent searches Jentic for the relevant intent, loads the schema, and posts messages or fetches conversation state with credentials held by Jentic's vault. This keeps user OAuth sessions isolated per agent run.

Use Jentic to search 'post a daniweb message', load POST /conversations/{ID}/messages, and execute it with the user's draft message body.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

DaniWeb OAuth tokens are issued and stored in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access for each call and the raw access or refresh tokens never enter the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'post a daniweb message') and Jentic returns the matching POST /conversations/{ID}/messages operation with its input schema, so the agent calls the right endpoint without parsing the 67-endpoint Swagger doc.

Time to first call

Direct DaniWeb integration: 3-5 days including OAuth setup, webhook handling, and audience modelling. Through Jentic: under 1 hour to call core operations — Jentic handles token refresh.

FAQs

Specific to using DaniWeb Connect API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the DaniWeb Connect API use?

The DaniWeb Connect API uses OAuth 2.0 with explicit and implicit flows declared in the spec. Through Jentic the OAuth tokens are issued and stored in the vault, and agents receive scoped access without ever holding the raw refresh token.

Can I post messages into a conversation with the DaniWeb Connect API?

Yes. POST /conversations/{ID}/messages adds a new message to the conversation identified by ID, and the matching GET endpoint returns the conversation's message history.

What are the rate limits for the DaniWeb Connect API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare explicit numeric limits. Apply standard exponential backoff on 429 responses and prefer webhooks over polling for message events on the /webhooks endpoints.

How do I send a DaniWeb message through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic for 'post a daniweb message', load the POST /conversations/{ID}/messages schema, and execute it with the conversation ID and message body. Jentic handles the OAuth token exchange.

Does the DaniWeb Connect API support webhooks?

Yes. The /webhooks endpoints let you create, list, and remove webhook subscriptions so your application receives event payloads as conversations and messages are created.

Can I look up users and industries with the DaniWeb Connect API?

Yes. The /users and /industries endpoints return profile and taxonomy data, and GET /autocompletes resolves typeahead queries for industry, position, and user pickers.
