Webex APIConnect Webex without building on its API
Webex has a REST API. Self-serve for anyone with a Webex account (a free sign-up is offered); Meetings sites must be on Common Identity. If you're reading the docs because you need Webex to talk to the rest of your stack, Caddi does that without you writing or maintaining integration code: you show it the job once, and it runs it across Webex and your other tools.

Building on the Webex API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get Webex credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your Webex account once. Caddi holds the connection. |
| Writing the integration | A developer maps fields, handles pagination, retries and rate limits, and writes the sync. | You show Caddi the Webex task the way you'd train a new hire. It writes verified code for it. |
| Steps the API doesn't cover | Screens with no endpoint stay manual, or need a separate RPA tool. | Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session where there's no API, in the same automation. |
| The other systems in the loop | Each extra tool is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own. | One automation runs across all the tools the job touches. |
| Keeping it running | Someone owns the code when the API version, fields or your process change. | Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged. |
Building on the API is the right call when you have engineers and the integration is your product. When the goal is getting Webex work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.

Webex API questions
Does Webex have an API?
Yes. Webex has a REST API, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (integrations), bot tokens, or short-lived personal access tokens. The official documentation is at https://developer.webex.com/docs/getting-started.
How do I get access to the Webex API?
Self-serve for anyone with a Webex account (a free sign-up is offered); Meetings sites must be on Common Identity.
Does the Webex API have rate limits?
Most REST APIs are limited to around 300 requests per minute per user, with dynamically adjusted higher quotas for /people and /messages.
Can I connect Webex to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Webex task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Webex and the other tools the job touches. Where a step has no API, Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session in the same automation.
Do I need a developer to automate Webex with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Webex is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
