Axelor: REST API for connection to other software
Axelor is an Open Source, modular enterprise management system offering a variety of features to meet the needs of businesses. One of Axelor’s powerful features is its ability to connect easily with other software, thanks not only to its API but also to its many ready-to-use connectors.
What is a REST API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a programming interface that enables software to communicate with each other in a standardized way. Axelor’s API is a REST (Representational State Transfer) API. REST represents a set of architectural constraints that, upon receiving a request, enables the transfer of a representation detailing the current state of a resource to the requestor. Using Axelor’s API, you can exchange data and interact with the system from and to other applications, both internal and external to your company. So it’s perfectly possible to send data from Axelor to other software, and receive data in exchange.
Another benefit of an API is the ability to exchange data in real-time with other solutions.
Axelor’s free REST API
Axelor’s API is accessible, free of charge to all business management system users. There are no additional costs associated with its use, making it a cost-effective solution for connecting Axelor to other software.
