IBM Social Business Toolkit
The Social Business Toolkit
The IBM Social Business Toolkit is your single source for developing integrations and leveraging IBM Connections and IBM SmartCloud for Social Business. The toolkit provides a set of extensible tools and resources for developers who want to incorporate social capabilities into their applications and business processes. Watch this video for an overview of the SDK.
Social Business Toolkit SDK
The Social Business Toolkit SDK lets Web, Java and XPages developers easily access IBM Connections and IBM SmartCloud for Social Business. It can be run on several Java application servers like WebSphere Application Server, Tomcat, WebSphere Portal, and Domino. The SDK provides easy to use JavaScript and Java APIs that encapsulate authentication mechanisms like OAuth, avoid JSON and Atom parsing, and abstract the specific target environments.
Social Business Toolkit Playground and API Explorer
The SBT Playground is a web-based live demonstration of the JavaScript APIs that are exposed by the SDK. The Playground contains a large set of code snippets and examples that you can customize and use in your own applications. The Playground also comes with an integrated API explorer and API documentation. Try the Playground on IBM Greenhouse.
API Documentation
The IBM Social Business Development Wiki contains the documentation of the SDK, for example the Java API documentation and the JavaScript API documentation.
