Note: Our old API is being deprecated. We encourage you to do any new development with our new API V2
Our API is a flexible, efficient, and easy to use RESTful API for getting a list of the C4C loans.
The Crowd4Cash REST API itself doesn't have a language restriction.
To use our API you need to be authenticated using an API key issued by C4C.
Request an API Key here
Note: please don't leak your API key to anyone else.
The definition of the used data structures is primarily in English. For specific API elements, we use original German terms to avoid double meanings.
To use our API, include your API key and make a request. For example:
var language = "en"; // can be 'de' though var url_all_open_loans = $"https://api.crowd4cash.ch/loans/{language}?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"; var url_specific_loan = $"https://api.crowd4cash.ch/loans/{language}/125?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"; using (var httpClient = new HttpClient()) { var response = httpClient.GetStringAsync(new Uri(url_all_open_loans)).Result; // Do something with the response }
For more information please check our demo page.

So, to summarize, to use our API you can use some .NET libraries (HttpWebRequest, WebClient, and HttpClient), some extensions for PHP like Curl and Guzzle, as well as some third-party tools like RestSharp.
We believe that now you are at least 99% ready to consume our REST API. Enjoy!
