Discover AnyDesk, the secure & intuitive remote desktop software, and take advantage of the application's innovative features!
API Overview
AnyDesk is a remote desktop software application that enables users to access and control computers remotely. It features high-frame-rate remote access, file transfer capabilities, and cross-platform compatibility, allowing users to connect to and manage devices running Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. AnyDesk utilizes the DeskRT codec, which optimizes bandwidth usage and provides low latency, ensuring a smooth and responsive remote desktop experience. It offers advanced security measures such as TLS 1.2 encryption, two-factor authentication, and granular access permissions to protect user data and privacy.
The AnyDesk Software API provides developers with a comprehensive set of RESTful APIs and webhooks to integrate AnyDesk's remote desktop capabilities into their applications and services. The API documentation provides detailed information on available endpoints, request and response formats, and usage examples. REST APIs enable developers to perform various operations, including creating and managing sessions, sending commands, and retrieving device information. Webhooks allow applications to receive real-time notifications of events such as session start, end, and device status changes. AnyDesk enforces rate limits to prevent API abuse and ensure the stability and performance of the service. Developers can obtain an API key to access the API and authenticate their requests. By leveraging the AnyDesk Software API, developers can enhance their applications with remote desktop functionality, enabling seamless remote access, collaboration, and device management.
