REST API: System Integrator's Guide

Rest API System Integrator's Guide: Introduction

The System Integrator section has these topics:

• Configure the Identity Provider
• Configure Web Central
• Explore and Test the APIs
• Web Central Implementation

Overview

Web Central REST APIs can be used to integrate Web Central with other systems. Web Central includes several REST APIs out of the box:

• Generic data access API

• Service Desk API

• Employee Locations API

Developers can implement additional APIs using these out-of-the-box API implementations as examples.

To integrate Web Central with an external system, a system integrator creates an application that:

• Authenticates with the OAuth2-compliant Identity Provider.

• Obtains an access token.

• Calls a WebCentral REST API and passes the access token.
