Integrations
ovos play offers various options for integrating external platforms. When using external applications, we are happy to provide you with technical support.
iFrame
External content can be conveniently integrated at any time using iFrame. In the menu or in learning content.
Magic Linking
When iFrames are called, ovos play can send a token so that the external platform can verify the account and, if necessary, log in directly to the external platform.
GraphQL API
External platforms can always work with our GraphQL API. Through the API you can, depending on the authorization, query user or progress data and perform allowed operations. We provide documentation and technical support for the API.

Sending notifications about achievements in external platforms
Evaluating learning progress and displaying it in an external platform
