Go to API overview The API has an annual support fee, which is added to your support fee for the web application. Please contact the office for details. The process for getting started is as follows:
- Your developer will need a Source key. We send this by text message. If they have already worked with the API, they will already have this. Bear in mind that for more technical users, you may be your own developer.
- Next we will enable the API for one of your replica systems. You can then create the Org and User keys in the web application. See API Authentication. NB, if you subsequently use the Update Replica Database feature on this system, it will wipe the keys. Simply tick the box again to create new ones.
- Once you have tested your solution on the replica system, we will enable the API for your live system.
- Finally, you can create the Org and User keys in your live system, and swap the keys in your solution,.
