An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules that allows different software systems to communicate with each other. Using APIs is a structured way to control how systems share sensitive data. Think of it as a translator that enables two applications to exchange information and functionality, even if they were created with different technologies.
Supplyframe REST API offers a convenient and straightforward way to interact with data from QuoteWin and DesignWin in JSON format. It's an excellent choice for web applications due to its ease of integration and development.
Each REST resource, whether a single data record, a collection of records, or dynamic real-time information, is identified by a unique URI and can be accessed using standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
These APIs are designed to support the following business needs:
- Automated Integration:
- Create automated, reliable, and seamless integrations with other systems like CRMs, Product Data Management, suppliers' order entry systems, ERPs, and legacy manufacturing systems.
- Secured Data Environment:
- Provide a secure and controlled data environment by limiting access to authorized users or systems.
- Inbound Data Control:
- Control the processing of inbound data imported from outside Supplyframe applications.
- Data Validation:
- Validate imported data to ensure the integrity of Supplyframe products.
- Data Review and Resubmission:
- Review, update, and resubmit imported data that failed validation.
