OpenVK API description¶

OpenVK API is based on VKontakte's API for compatibility. If you want to improve the API, then read this page.

To call the function, you need to go to {YOUR DOMAIN}/method/ URL, and then, the function name, for example: {YOUR DOMAIN}/method/Account.getProfileInfo. The server will return JSON data. You can use GET or POST to send the Data.

🔰 above the function name means it requires authorization.

You can read about authorization there.

Main params¶

Name	Value	Description
`callback`	string	Sets `Content-Type` header to `application/javascript` and wraps json response into function call. This will allow to bypass CORS limits. Not working with `auth_mechanism`=`roaming`.
`forGodSakePleaseDoNotReportAboutMyOnlineActivity`	bool (0, 1)	Do not calls online on some methods
`rss`	bool (0, 1)	If 1, returns data in RSS format (works only with wall.get and newsfeed.getGlobal)

Tips¶

Main instance API URL is https://ovk.to/method/
If there is no description of the method you need, check it on https://dev.vk.com/ru/method
Don't try to use execute, it's not supported yet.
To set group, add minus to id
