SpinnakerC API Reference

API Version

This reference covers Spinnaker C SDK v4.4.0.246. See Release Notes for differences from previous versions.

The Spinnaker C API provides a handle-based, error-code-driven interface suitable for embedded systems, real-time environments, and platforms where C++ exceptions or managed runtimes are unavailable.

For higher-level abstractions, see the C++ API or C# API. For scripting and rapid prototyping, see the Python API.

For design conventions and a quick reference, see the Getting Started guide.

For the error code reference, see the Getting Started guide.
