Calling all Cayenne community developers! 
Our dev team has been hard at work! I’m proud to announce the latest expansion of the Cayenne platform: a REST API which we’re branding simply the Cayenne API.
The goal is to allow developers to build their own custom web application or mobile app using the power of the Cayenne Cloud to drive the app’s IoT interactivity and device logic.
If you’ve been using Cayenne for a while and desiring most customization or specific features, the Cayenne API is the perfect opportunity to build your own custom UI and application logic while letting us deal with the hard work of IoT device connectivity and interaction.
If you’re new to Cayenne, you’ve showed up an exciting time in our development where you now have the option to choose between a solution wholly built and hosted on the Cayenne Dashboard, or the power of a custom application built using the Cayenne API as a core component.
Interested in participating in Beta and developing your own app with this new API?
The Beta is now live and available to all Cayenne users via the green ‘Create App’ button at the top of your Cayenne web dashboard:
We’d love to know what you’re building with this new API and get your feedback on desired features, bugs, and usability. Please use the REST API category on this forum for that purpose, and feel free to make as many threads as you’d like.
