The API download below includes a sample application that generates an XML file containing most of the data available through the API.

The Axure RP Pro API enables programmatic access to the design information captured in Axure RP files. This technical preview provides read access to all of the data used by the Axure RP specification generator as well as additional data about each widget.

The API is developed in C# and can be used from any Microsoft .NET 4.0 or later application.

Developing applications using the Axure RP Pro API requires knowledge of a .NET programming language and programming knowledge of any other technologies used in your custom application.

Microsoft offers free editions of Visual Studio at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/.

Documentation for the API interfaces is available in the download below.

This download includes a zip file that contains

• Axure.Document.dll

This is a Technical Preview. The API interfaces are subject to change.

This version of the API will work with all Axure RP Pro 4.x, 5.x, and 6.0 files.
