with 24R1/R2… so to say service apis with the possability to update its childs is possible from an external system to ifs cloud. When will this be not only possible with a post but also to retrieve information from cloud to a third party application with a GET?
Thank you

But is it really possible to fetch data of the IFS Cloud database via these so called APIS? The API documentation only provides the possability to trigger actions?
Thanks

Yes that is possible. Check the API that Richard has suggested. There are also options for GET-calls in the RequestHandling API for example.
Can you give an example please of what you are after here.
Is this in realtion to performing a GET on a Request for examle that then will include Request Task information as well as it is a child entity to the Request?
We would like to retrieve/send data from ifs cloud to a third party mobile app by using for example the mentioned RequestService or ReqWorkTaskService API.
But at the moment the Service APIs only provide the possability to insert, update, delete from an external application to IFS Cloud via POST.
And Yes, we would like to retrieve info of its child tables with a single api call.
Is there something else in place or will these mentioned APIs provide a “GET”?
Why can you not do a POST to e.g. RequestServices.svc/GetRequestDetails? This will get you all request details incl. child nodes. Or is this a limitation of the external system?

Check the API explorer for more details, but as of 24R2, there were new Integration API’s created in IFS Cloud which should allow you to call a POST operation to get Request/Task information in an API call:
