API Playground Quick Start: Send Data to Any Screen in 2 Minutes

Push To Display's API Playground lets you send pre-built messages to a live display board without writing any code. This walkthrough shows the entire flow — from sign-in to content appearing on an iPad — in under two minutes.

What's covered

1. Sign in on the device — Open the Push To Display app on an iPad and log in. The device is now listening for updates.
2. Sign in to the web portal — Log in to the admin dashboard at pushtodisplay.com.
3. Create an API key — Generate a key from the portal to authenticate API requests.
4. Open the Playground — The Playground has pre-built message templates ready to send.
5. Send a message — Pick a template, hit send, and watch the content appear on the iPad in real time.

Try it yourself

1. Download the app on iOS or Android.
2. Sign in — your first board is created automatically.
3. Open the web portal and head to the Playground.
