# API

5.0, Anatomy 09.02.2015 Krisztian

Slider Revolution offers a public API which you can use to control the slider, and listen to events triggered by layers, slides, videos, etc. within your own scripts.

To address the Methods and Events easier, save the reference of the Calling Script as shown below:

var revapi; jQuery(document).ready(function() { revapi = jQuery("#sliderid").revolution({ ... }); });

1 2 3 4 5 6 | var revapi; jQuery(document).ready(function() { revapi = jQuery("#sliderid").revolution({ ... }); });

From now on you can call the Public functions via the revapi object. However you still can call functions via a jQuery selector just like jQuery(‘#sliderid’).function()
