Get started as an Airship developer

Find everything you need to integrate Airship’s SDKs and APIs — channel configuration, authentication credentials, identifier lookups, and a Postman collection.

Intro to Channels

Channels represent the various devices, users, and addresses that make up your audience. Channels are a concept fundamental to Airship. Understanding the various applications of channels can help you better understand and target your audience.

Finding Channel IDs

A Channel ID is an Airship-specific unique identifier for a channel instance, e.g., a smartphone, web browser, email address.

Configuring Mobile Channels

Configure mobile channels and push providers in the Airship dashboard for iOS and Android.

The SDKs and APIs

Airship's SDKs expose messaging and data-gathering functionality on your client devices, and our APIs support messaging mediums that can't use an SDK. Airship has SDKs for iOS, Android/Fire OS, Windows, and Web platforms. The APIs correspond to Airship's engagement (messaging) and real-time event stream products.

Custom Domain Proxy

Custom domain configuration for routing Airship traffic

Airship API Security

The Airship messaging API supports HTTP and OAuth authentication. Different security and authorization levels are available for both.

App Keys & Secrets: Security

In order for your app to communicate with the Airship API it must use a key and secret combination that authenticates it to your Airship app setup.

Airship Postman collection

Use our Postman public workspace to experiment with the Airship API.
