Introduction

To perform an action using the MindMeister API, send a request (specifying a method and some parameters) to an API endpoint. A response will then be sent back to you.

• All requests take a list of named parameters.
• The required parameter method is used to specify the method to be called.
• The required parameter api_key is used to specify Your API Keys.
• The REST format is a simple XML-based protocol - it is a conventional HTTP GET or POST action.
• The REST endpoint URL is http://www.mindmeister.com/services/rest/.

Alternatively, the endpoint is available over HTTPS at

To request the mm.test.echo service, you would invoke the following:

http://www.mindmeister.com/services/rest/?method=mm.test.echo&
api_key=123456789DEADBEEF&name=value

All responses are, by default, returned in a REST-friendly XML format. This includes a valid xml header (which is not shown in the examples):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Successful Response

                    <rsp stat="ok">
                       <api_key>123456789DEADBEEF</api_key>
                       <foo>bar</foo>
                       <method>mm.test.echo</method>
                    </rsp>
                 

Failure Response

                        <rsp stat="fail">
                           <err code="112" msg="Method "mm.test.abracadarba" not found"/>
                        </rsp>
