I have a site that could use help tracking items, but it would be strange to have users download another app. Is an API in the works?

Hey David from Got-it here. Honestly not at the moment, it's something we are considering but first we'd need to see the demand and what it would mean in terms of shifting focus. Happy to talk through your use case - ping me at david@got-it.com

I can think of several different ways our product in the agriculture sector could use these. We would also need an API for it to be useful. Do you have plans for an Android app as well or is it going to be iOS only?

We absolutely have plans for an Android app, we started with iOS because it's the more restrictive of the two platforms with regards to BLE in the background. We don't have a firm date for Android yet but it's most likely end of Q1 next year.

Maybe a simple solution while the API is being developed would just be to make the end points (transmissions) from the labels known.

It's possible, theoretically we already have an api and a mobile SDK.

The question for us would be around support, SLA's e.t.c our capacity as a team and what we would have to drop in order to be able to do that.
