API Integration

Our company uses a third party ASP for scheduling, booking appointments, etc. I want my customer to stay within my app and not have to end up at a web page to schedule their appointments. I have access to API but I'm not sure how to integrate it into the app. Is it the same as copy/paste HTML? Help appreciated!!

If you're going the HTML route, then all you need to do is use the custom URL plugin and point to the web page. The user won't leave the app. You can also copy/paste into a local HTML page, but it gets tricky with JavaScript files

May I ask what third party API you are using? I am trying to settle on one for a number of customers.

Mindbody. We're a yoga studio that uses their ASP for booking, scheduling, etc.
