Application Programming Interface or API are a set of functions that are used to define how an application interacts with the backend. The backend here refers to any external software that an application may need to interact with to consume and process information. In other words, API act as an interface between an application and the operating system that it runs on and also between the application and other entities such as Web services and data sources that it may use. Process Platform provides a wide range of API that you can use while creating your application. This section categorizes API as follows:
Note:
It is advised to use only the APIs documented in the above sections in your projects. This ensures that all your applications can be migrated to future Process Platform releases as the platform keeps these APIs compatible. This applies to the access to platform specific database tables too. In case, some API that you need is not available, contact Process Platform Customer Support for inclusion of the API.
