api & integrations
Connect Your Tools. Keep Your Sanity.
Your tech stack shouldn’t need a babysitter. CE21’s native integrations and flexible API keep your systems connected reliably. You can finally say goodbye to fragile workarounds, costly consultants, and 3 a.m. panic calls.
Native connections that actually stay connected
While many platforms rely on fragile third-party connectors that break with every update, we built our ecosystem to support the way you actually work. We start by ensuring your core education, membership, and event operations are perfectly synchronized, creating a reliable foundation that eliminates manual data reconciliation.
From that solid base, we provide the flexibility to connect with the specific third-party tools your association depends on to grow. Whether you are looking to bridge the gap with a legacy system or want to innovate using our open API, we give you the freedom to scale your technology without the “Frankenstein” system headaches.
Our integration philosophy focuses on providing your organization with practical advantages:
- A Unified Foundation: Because our LMS, AMS, and Events modules share a single database, your core data is already synchronized. You update information once and it populates everywhere instantly.
- One Login for Everything: Eliminate the frustration of members juggling different passwords for your website, your catalog, and your member portal.
- Reliable Data Flow: We focus on deep, stable integrations with the tools you already use, like WordPress and Zoom, so you can sleep well knowing your systems are reliable.
- No Integration Consultants Required: You should not have to hire an expensive specialist just to make your software work. Our team handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on your strategic goals.
A RESTful API Built for Flexibility
If you have a custom need or a unique platform you want to link, our API is ready for you.
- Developer Friendly: Use our RESTful architecture to build in the language of your choice.
- Comprehensive Documentation: Access interactive Swagger 2.0 documentation to simplify the building process.
- Secure by Design: Every connection requires authentication and TLS encryption to keep your member data safe.
- Advanced Reporting: Feed your data directly into ETL systems for high-level business intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the CE21 API help our staff save time on administrative tasks?
The CE21 API allows your organization to automate the exchange of data between our platform and your existing business tools. By connecting your systems directly, you eliminate the need for manual data entry and reduce the risk of human error. This automation ensures that information such as member records, course completions, and financial transactions stays accurate across your entire technical stack without requiring constant staff intervention.
What happens if an integration breaks?
Because CE21’s LMS, AMS, and Events share a unified database, there’s nothing to “break” between those core systems. For third-party tools, our support team handles integration troubleshooting as part of your contract; this ensures there is no finger-pointing between vendors.
Can CE21 connect to our existing membership database?
Yes. We integrate with major AMS platforms and can build custom connections via our API. Our team handles data migration so you don’t lose historical records.
Can we use the CE21 API to connect with our preferred e-commerce or registration system?
Yes. While CE21 offers a robust built-in registration and e-commerce engine, we understand many organizations have existing investments in specific payment or registration tools. Our RESTful API allows you to continue using those external systems for transactions while utilizing the CE21 platform for high-quality program delivery. This flexibility ensures you can maintain your established workflows while benefiting from our advanced learning and event management features.

What are the benefits of the ACCME and ABA MCLE integrations for our members?
These specialized integrations provide a superior experience for your professional members by automating the compliance and reporting process. For medical and legal professionals, course completions are reported directly to the appropriate accrediting bodies. This removes the burden of manual reporting from your members and ensures they receive their credits and certificates faster, increasing the overall value of your educational offerings.
Do we need a dedicated technical team to manage integrations with the CE21 platform?
While our API is built with a standard RESTful architecture that your developers can easily work with, the CE21 team also provides extensive support and documentation to guide the process. For organizations that prefer a more hands-off approach, we offer managed integration services where our experts handle the technical configuration. This partnership allows your staff to focus on organizational strategy rather than the complexities of data synchronization.
How does the API support our organization’s data security and privacy standards?
Security is a primary focus of the CE21 infrastructure. All calls made through our API require secure authentication and are protected by TLS encryption. By using our secure API to move data between platforms, you ensure that sensitive member information and financial records remain protected according to industry best practices. This provides peace of mind for both your staff and your members when handling centralized data.
Does the CE21 API support single sign-on (SSO) for a more unified member experience?
Yes. Our platform supports various remote authentication methods, including OAuth 2.0, to allow your members to move between your main website and the CE21 platform using a single set of credentials. This eliminates the frustration of managing multiple passwords and encourages higher engagement by making it easy for members to access their educational dashboard and membership benefits under a single, unified login.
