About the Connect API Explorer

The Connect API Explorer (application programming interface) allows you to programmatically retrieve data from the application and write data to the application.

For example, with the Connect API Explorer you can access data that can be used to build client invoices. You can request data about hosted volume by case, production counts, and other relevant data, and then use that data to create custom invoices for your clients.

You can perform the following tasks using the Connect API Explorer:

• Request data about a portal or case, such as users, documents, and hosted data volume.
• Modify data in a portal or case.
• Pro-grammatically use the application data in an external application, such as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
• Interact with the API using HTTP GET and POST requests.

The Connect API Explorer documentation includes the following sections:

• API terminology: Provides a basic overview of API terminology used in the Connect API Explorer.
• Introduction to making API calls: Provides a detailed explanation of how to retrieve and modify data in the application.
• Use the Connect API Explorer: Explains how to configure security for the Connect API Explorer, to work with the API in an interactive Connect API Explorer, and to interact with the API using third-party applications. Includes an example of how to pro-grammatically retrieve and display application data in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
• Data retrieval query examples: Provides sample queries that you can use as a starting point to create queries for common reporting tasks.
• Import mutation examples: Provides sample mutations covering the importing of documents.
• Reference documentation: Explains how to access comprehensive information about the schema. The schema determines what data you can request and modify, and how to structure an API call.
