A Virtual Candle API for Websites and Communities

Some communities want to offer a small ritual online: light a candle, write a short message, and share a quiet moment. The 247Candle API makes that possible without building a candle platform from the ground up.

What can a website do with the API?

A website can send a request to create a candle and then show the returned candle URL to the visitor. This can fit into a memorial page, a community prayer page, a church website, or a support workflow.

Why use a shared candle platform?

Building the emotional part of a candle experience takes care. There is moderation, privacy, timing, sharing, and presentation. Using an existing candle platform lets another project focus on its own community while still offering a meaningful action.

What information is needed?

The API needs a name or intention, a display name, and a country code. A message can be added if the visitor wants to write one. The theme can be omitted, so the integration can stay simple.

Can it be used by partners later?

Yes. The public API starts with a conservative unauthenticated limit. Later, trusted partners can use API keys for higher limits, analytics, and more integration options.

Start with the public API

The public API documentation is available at https://www.247candle.com/api/. If you are not building an integration and simply want to light a candle, visit light a candle.
