Jumpshare API
No documented public API. A private API powers a Zapier connector, but Zapier is gated to the Business tier at $16 per user per month with a 3-user minimum. No webhooks, OAuth program, or SDKs exist; an API promised in 2012 never shipped.
Frequently asked questions
Jumpshare scores F on the API Report Card. No documented public API. A private API powers a Zapier connector, but Zapier is gated to the Business tier at $16 per user per month with a 3-user minimum. No webhooks, OAuth program, or SDKs exist; an API promised in 2012 never shipped.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Jumpshare is a visual communication platform that combines file sharing, screen recording, screenshot capture, and GIF capture into a single desktop + web + mobile product.
Vertical: misc / horizontal productivity. Jumpshare is explicitly horizontal, the homepage lists Sales, Marketing, Customer Support, Design, Engineering, Education, Team Collaboration, and Product Management as use cases. Async screen recordings for sales demos, customer-support walkthroughs, design critique, and engineering bug repros, with webcam overlay, audio, trim/join, custom thumbnails and end-of-video CTAs.
Mid-tier within the screen-recording / visual-communication category, well behind category leader Loom (Atlassian, ~25M+ users, the de facto standard for async video at work).
Data that flows through Jumpshare on behalf of customers: Recorded screen-capture videos (with webcam overlay, system/microphone audio). Screenshot images and annotation metadata (arrows, text, blur/redaction layers). GIF captures.
Founded 2011, based in San Francisco, founder/CEO Ghaus Iftikhar. The product has been continuously developed (Jumpshare 3.0 in 2015 added Collections and Nested Folders; AI Actions launched in the past ~2 years).
No public, self-serve API or developer documentation, a 2012 founder promise of an API was still unfulfilled per a 2020 community follow-up. No webhooks documented on jumpshare.com or support.jumpshare.com; event-driven integrations must be brokered through Zapier polling. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Loom (Atlassian), Zight (formerly CloudApp), Droplr, ScreenPal (formerly Screencast-O-Matic), Vidyard, Snagit (TechSmith). Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
