Core concepts

Our application programming interface (API) provides a way for other systems to interact with our platform. It enables the exchange of data and commands in a secure, reliable, and efficient manner.

What is an API?

An API is a set of rules and protocols that allows one software application to interact with another. It defines the correct way for a developer to write a program that functions as an interface with another software component.

How our API works

Our API works by accepting requests in a specified format, processes them against our platform, and then delivers the result back to the caller. The processes may include data retrieval, data manipulation, or triggering certain functionalities in our system.

Request and response pattern

Our API operates on a request-response pattern. The user sends a request to perform an operation, and the API processes the request and returns a response.

HTTP methods

Our API uses HTTP methods to align with the type of operation to be performed.

• GET To retrieve data
• POST To send new data
• PUT To update existing data
• DELETE To remove data

API Endpoints

API endpoints are the points of interaction or URLs where requests are sent and from where the resource is read, created, updated, or deleted.

Security

Our API employs standard security protocols such as authentication and encryption to ensure that only authorized entities can interact with our platform and that all exchanged data remains secure.

The role of API in our platform

Our API plays a crucial role in allowing our platform to integrate with other systems, enabling you to streamline your workflow and increase productivity by reducing manual data entry or enabling automation of tasks.

In conclusion, the core concept of our API revolves around providing a secure and robust way for systems to interact with our platform.
