There are two ways to leverage Candid to build custom experiences in your native apps:


1) REST API

2) Dynamic Image Handlers


The REST API serves up JSON that includes the full social asset (high-res image or video along with all metadata), product associations specific to your catalog, and any other meta-data associated with it through the Candid moderation process, which can include AI concepts, other categories (via Placement Tags) or other notes and text attributes.


The Dynamic Image Handlers are typically use for rendering dynamic image feeds within email templates, where each time the recipient opens the message, they're served up fresh content. This endpoint returns raw images, not JSON and supports configurable collage formats and can be combined with Placement Tags to allow marketers to control what's streamed to that image from the Candid dashboard. Dynamic images are the easiest integration pattern for both web and mobile as they require no additional code.
