Developing for Nextcloud or planning to try? Our latest updates in Nextcloud developer platform bring many API updates, new frameworks, and a few new community apps.
Nextcloud is designed as a flexible platform that integrates with existing IT ecosystems (identity management, document systems, sector-specific apps) rather than replacing them. It can be extended and adapted without forcing you to adapt to Nextcloud.
What does Nextcloud Platform offer? 🛠️
👉 Nextcloud Platform delivers stable APIs, a clean app framework, and predictable interfaces for developers. Developers can build custom integrations or apps using the Open Collaboration Services (OCS) API, enabling automation and connection with external systems.
👉 APIs are well-documented and stable over time, with tools like the OCS viewer to easily explore, test, and implement API functions.
