Embed in your site

Create a mobile app

• KimonoApps are responsive HTML5 web

apps, powered by data from kimono APIs.

• KimonoApps have their own URLs and are

hosted on our servers.

• They can be shared with and used by

anyone, not just Kimono users

37

Setting up email alerts• Email alerts are triggered by kimono every time the data that your API is

monitoring changes as long as there is one or more emails added to the email

alerts manager in the API detail page.

• Alert emails will be sent from Kimono Labs [kimonolabs@kimonolabs.com] with

the subject "Your kimono API {API_NAME} has new data".

Sorry. Something went wrong and we couldn't create an API from this page. A

bug report has been created.

You can download the json, csv or rss version of the data you just extracted, but

it won't be saved to your kimono account.
