API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to communicate with each other and exchange data.
The use of APIs is essential to implementing an automated data exchange capability. The Pretectum CMDM provides a number of APIs for the exchange of data between the platform and other applications.
What are some examples of the APIs provided by the Pretectum CMDM for data exchange with other applications?
- Generate OAuth2 Access Token
- Retrieve Business Areas
- Get all schemas for a business area
- Get schema details
- Get all datasets for a schema in a business area
- Get all data objects for a dataset in a schema in a business area
- Create Data Object
- Delete a specific data object
- Get Data Object by ID
- Update a specific data object
- Search Data Objects
APIs are not typically used by ordinary users but rather by developers to facilitate the data exchange or to surface functionality in custom applications like websites.
