Overview of Pod API

The Symphony Pod API is used to build tools in order to manage and administer Symphony for your organization. The following guide includes API collections that exist on the Pod:

In order to access Pod API endpoints, bots must be authenticated with the Pod. To do so, a Bot must call the Session Authenticate endpoint.
