Overview

VK, or formerly known as Vkontakte, is a popular Russian-based social networking website that offers an expansive set of web APIs for developers. Using the VK API, developers can create a number of applications and services that can interact with VK users and resources. With the VK APIs, developers can create a variety of services ranging from traditional social networking features to more complex applications and games.

Here are some of the things that can be built with the VK API:

  • Social Networking Platforms: Enable users to make connections, send messages, share media, and create and manage groups and events.
  • Music and Video Streaming Platforms: Create streaming music and video platforms with support for streaming popular audio and video content from VK.
  • Games: Implement fully featured game applications that can be integrated with VK for leaderboard categories, gaming communities, and more.
  • Chatbots: Create their own personal chatbot for VK users, allowing them to communicate with other VK users in an automated manner.
  • E-commerce: Use the VK APIs to create online marketplaces and e-commerce stores with VK integration.
  • Location-based Services: Develop applications that can be used to locate and share events, locations and points of interest with VK users.
  • Analytics and Tracking: Collect data and implement analytical tools for VK users and businesses.
  • Advertising and Promotion: Develop campaigns and promotional activities with VK integration.
  • Customization: Enable users to customize their VK experience with a variety of methods, including custom skins, page layouts, and more.

Authentication

vk uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your vk account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into vk and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any vk API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

134217728
