Taglme Desktop provides set of APIs for NFC tag integration with cloud and desktop applications. This repo provides set of usefull links and resources for developers using Taglme Desktop as part of their applications. Feature requests and bugs for the Taglme Desktop platform also could be submitted here.
Taglme Desktop working as the bridge between NFC tags and applications. It implements low-level protocols for interacting with NFC tags and provide high-level APIs through set of plugins. This allows quick and easy integration with existing and new applications.
Integration type could be choosed from set of plugins in plugin catalog. Plugin list with short overview:
- REST API - plugin allows applications to interact with NFC tags through the REST API interface by sending HTTP requests. Local API server runs on the user's PC with installed Taglme Desktop. It could be used by local and cloud apps through the web browser. Therefore, you could integrate NFC tag write/read features to your website.
- Keyboard - plugin writes information about the NFC tag in the active text field by emulating the keyboard output. Thus, you could pass data from NFC tag to any existing application with text input field (Excel, Notepad etc.).
- File - plugin writes information about the NFC tag to the text file. The file with tag data can be used by an external application to process data received from NFC tags.
- Webhook - plugin send HTTP requests (POST method) with information about events on the PC. Thus, you could pass data from NFC tag to any cloud application.
- Clipboard - plugin writes information about the NFC tag to the PC clipboard.
- External - plugin starts an external application when an NFC tag discovered. Data from an NFC tag could be passed as arguments for application.
- Browser - plugin starts a web browser and open a web page, the link to which is recorded on the NFC tag.
