REST (Representational State Transfer) is an API implementation style that provides web services using the HTTP protocol. Our REST services provide access to system-specific functionalities for which no standardized protocol exists. The documentation of each API is provided in the form of an OpenAPI/Swagger specification that is both machine-processable and supports interactive documentation.
