Tagboard's Partner Development Kit (PDK)

A standardized way to bring partner-powered visuals into live Tagboard graphics.

What is the Partner Development Kit (PDK)?

The Partner Development Kit (PDK) gives partners a faster, more reliable way to bring partner-powered visuals into live graphics. Producers get a single hub inside Tagboard to discover, launch, and control interactive, data-driven elements. It speeds up setup, keeps design consistent across shows, and reduces operational friction in the control room.

How does it work?

If you have visuals, data, or an interactive experience that lives outside Tagboard, the PDK is Tagboard's turnkey way to bring it in. It's a standardized framework that lets you embed your experience directly into a Tagboard graphic, with Tagboard handling authentication, configuration, and triggering the same way it does for every other element in a show.

Under the hood, the PDK standardizes three things:

  • A shared, OAuth-based way for Tagboard to authenticate with your service;

  • A shared API you expose so Tagboard knows what content ("Experiences") you offer and how to configure it;

  • And a shared way for producers to find, add, and trigger that content inside Tagboard graphics and Producer. 

Your Experience is rendered inside Tagboard via an embedded, publicly accessible HTTPS page that accepts configuration through query parameters and listens for trigger events from Tagboard.

Full technical details, including the exact OAuth flow, endpoint specs, and the Experience object schema, can be found in our partner integration guide.

Who uses the PDK?

The PDK supports different use cases, depending on who your integration is built for:

  • A network-wide partner app: You're a technology partner with a product or data source that you want to make available to Tagboard's entire customer base. Once integrated, your app is discoverable as a partner app that any Tagboard producer can add to their graphics.
  • A private, bespoke integration: You're a Tagboard customer with your own visuals or data that you want inside your own Tagboard graphics. This isn't published broadly or discoverable by other Tagboard customers; it's scoped to you. 

Getting Started

Here's what you'll need to move forward:

  • Base URL: the host of your API (e.g., https://api.partner.com)
  • Authentication Path: your OAuth flow entry point (e.g., /oauth)
  • API Path: the base path for your Experience endpoints (e.g., /api)
  • Refresh Path (optional): your token refresh endpoint (e.g., /refresh)
  • Default Token Expiration (optional): the default lifespan of a token, in seconds (e.g., 3600)
