Crossrider Extension API Documentation

Everything you need to know about working with Crossrider's API.

Crossrider's unified API has tons of features that are tailored for cross browser extension development including: cross-domain requests, a local database, and browser buttons.

Using the Crossrider API is easy when you have a good working knowledge of common web technologies such as JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS. Knowledge of asynchronous programming techniques, programming scopes, and extension design will jump start the process and enable you to build your first extension even faster.

If you are new to Crossrider, we recommend that you invest a little time visiting our Developer Center, reviewing our Demos, and FAQs to gain an overall understanding of what you can accomplish with our development framework.

The documentation is organized into three major areas:

• The API Documentation contains a comprehensive listing of all methods exposed by the API. You'll probably spend the majority of your time referencing these, as they make up the majority of our documentation.
• The Guides provide individual concepts used when interacting with the Crossrider API, HOW-TOs, Troubleshooting and references.
• The Screencasts demonstrate how to use the Crossrider IDE and code using the APIs.

If you find yourself with a good idea but don't know how, or don't have the time, to make it happen then check out our Demos section or head over to our oDesk integrated Marketplace and find someone who can do it for you.
