Hello,

Is there any documentation on how to create custom APIs and API calls for IFS Cloud? A lot of the documentation on the IFS Cloud technical documentation site either isn’t helpful, or it’s full of broken links. Even the 22r1 and newer links are broken with a 404 missing page error.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi @bdoucette 

 

You have asked a pretty generic question which cannot be answered via a simple answer. Basically there are 2 ways to create custom API. Configuration and Customization. For configuration you do not need much technical knowledge or developer access as everything is done through IFS applications. Main drawback among many others is that you cannot write custom methods for the configured APIs. Below help doc covers pretty much everything and if you want to learn more, then I suggest you enroll in an IFS Academy course that covers custom objects framework.

Configuration - Technical Documentation For IFS Cloud

 

On the other hand, Customization is more developer oriented and you would at least need IFS Base server knowledge in order to customize existing APIs. Below is the help doc related to IFS development and also there are IFS Academy courses available as well.

Good luck!
