Sync sessions and speakers to your website

Keep an agenda page or speaker directory on your own site in step with Sessionboard. You need an API token with read:events, read:sessions and read:contacts.

1. Find the event

GET /v1/events lists the events your token can reach. Note the id of the one you publish.

2. Page through the sessions

POST /v1/event/{eventId}/sessions is a search: send the filters in the body and the page in the query string. Ask for 100 per page and stop when you reach pagination.totalPages.

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://public-api.sessionboard.com/v1/event/{eventId}/sessions?page=1&pageSize=100' \
  --header 'x-access-token: <api-token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "filters": { "status": "accepted" } }'

Each session carries its speakers, track, room, tags and custom fields, so one pass usually covers an agenda page.

3. Page through the speakers

POST /v1/event/{eventId}/speakers works the same way and returns each speaker’s name, company, title, photo and bio.

4. Pick up only what changed

On later runs, send filters.updatedAt.after with the time of your last successful sync to fetch only what changed since. Session search results are cached for two minutes, so do not poll more often than that.
