Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1
1.2
Definitions
Name
Description
Supporter
A user who provides support for the end customer. This user must have a
TeamViewer account.
End Customer
A user who does not have to have a known TeamViewer account. The user
is in most cases a customer of the company who is using the API.
Client
The application (or user, if the HTTP requests are typed in manually) that
uses the API.
REST
The TeamViewer API is a REST API which uses the already existing HTTP methods to create (POST), read
(GET), change (PUT) or delete (DELETE) single items or a collection of items. The following table shows the
general use cases for these HTTP methods.
GET
POST
PUT
DELETE
Collection
retrieve list of
items in this collection
Single item
The basic URI scheme for all API functions is: https://host/path/to/resources[/id][/verb][?param1=value1]
Parameters in the URI are only allowed for GET and DELETE. Generally there should be no need for any parameters for DELETE, though. POST and PUT need to have the parameters in the body formatted as JSON or
XML.

Introduction
1.3
IDs
IDs are prefixed with a type in order to make them more distinguishable. The following types are used:
"u" - user ID
"g" group ID
1.4
Date format
All dates and times follow the ISO 8601. They should have the following format: YYYY-MMDD"T"HH:MM:SS"Z". Times are always in UTC unless stated otherwise.
Example
1.5
Number format
Decimal numbers are returned in US English format, using a point as decimal separator. Digits are never
grouped by a delimiter.
Example
12345.67

Permission dependencies
Some permissions are depending on each other and cannot be set individually, e. g. if a user has the permission to ManageAdmins he also must have the permission to ManageUsers. When these permissions are
set in the Management Console, the other permissions are set automatically. When setting permissions
through the API using a PUT or POST command, all permissions must be included explicitly. The following
table shows the dependencies.

API Functions
3 API Functions
3.1
3.1.1
resource owner The user behind a TeamViewer account who wants to access their resources
through the API.
client The application, plug-in, script or user who is making the API HTTP requests.
authorization server In our case that's the same servers that run the rest of the API.
client ID A unique ID to identify the application that wants to use the TeamViewer API.
client secret A unique string only known to the creator of the client ID.
authorization code Code used during the OAuth process to prove that an authorization request
was granted in the Management Console.
access token A token that has to be used to access any API function (except those explicitly
marked as not requiring any access tokens).
refresh token A token that can be used once to obtain a new access token and a new refresh token.
Client/Application-Types:
User Access
Script
App
www.teamviewer.com
Page 12 of 40
API Functions
Company Access
Script
App
When you register an application for your own use only, you will get an access token that can be used directly for any API function that requires it. When you register the application for others to use as well, you
will get a Client ID. This Client ID is used in the OAuth process described below. At the end of this process
the application will also have an access token that must be used by the other API functions. This access token is tied to the account/company that uses the application, not the company that created the application.
If you are using OAuth in your application and the application was registered for company use, the user who
grants access to your application needs to be an administrator. The user who registered the application
does not have to be in a company however.
3.1.2
3.1.3
API-Function
Scopes
Account
(user level access only)
Groups
Users
(company level
access only)
Sessions
Connections
www.teamviewer.com
Page 13 of 40
API Functions
For public Apps the case is different. Because these applications can be used by other TeamViewer users,
access to their data is controlled via OAuth 2.0. We distinguish between application with access to user
level data and company level data.
3.1.4
redirect_uri (optional) URI to redirect to once access has been granted. If this parameter is
left out the code that would have been returned here is shown in the browser and has to be copied
manually to the application. If a fixed redirect URI is specified for the provided client ID, the value of
this parameter must match it.
state (optional) Can be set if needed, and will be returned to the callback URI if it was set here.
Return values
Not applicable here, because this needs to be opened in a browser and will return a website. The other values will be added to the redirect_uri once access has been granted.
Description
Requests an authorization code from the server. This code is only valid for 10 minutes and should be used
to get an access token. This is the only function that should not be called directly from a 3 rd party application but it should be opened in a browser and return a website where the user can grant access to the 3rd
party application.
www.teamviewer.com
Page 14 of 40
API Functions
Example
Request:
GET /api/v1/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=12333133Ea4Hdf3e9ec0543fX&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fclient%2Eexample%2Ecom%2Fcb HTTP/1.1
3.1.5
redirect_uri (optional) Must be the same value as in the previous call to /oauth2/authorize. If
no redirect_uri was given none should be added here as well.
client_secret The client secret, which is known only to the creator of the application.
Refresh-Token:
client_secret - The client secret, a unique string known only to the creator of the application.
Return values
token_type Authentication-method used for this access token, currently only bearer is used.
expires_in Time in seconds until the access token expires and needs to be refreshed.
refresh_token Refresh-Token that needs to be used to get a new access token when the old
access token expires. Requesting a new access token will also create a new refresh token.
Description
Requests a new access token, either by using the code from a previous authorization step or by using an
existing refresh token. Access tokens have a limited lifetime of 1 day. The response always has the CacheControl and Pragma fields (see example below). Refresh tokens can only be used once. For this request the
Content-Type header should be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded (as per OAuth 2 specification), however JSON/XML also works.
www.teamviewer.com
Page 15 of 40
API Functions
Example
Request (Authorization code grant):
POST /api/v1/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
Host: webapi.teamviewer.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=authorization_code&code=SplxlOBeZQQYbYS6WxSb&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fc
lient%2Eexample%2Ecom%2Fcb&client_id=12333-133Ea4Hdf3e9ec0543fX
Example
GET /api/v1/users?online=1 HTTP/1.1
Host: webapi.teamviewer.com
Authorization: Bearer 54213-2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWp
All examples in the following sections will have this header omitted but if an access token is required the
Authorization header field needs to be added to the request.
If no access token is given in the header, or the access token is past its expiration date, the return will have
a WWW-Authenticate header field.
Response for no access token, but access token required:
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
WWW-Authenticate: Bearer
