IFS Cloud API Discovery Process:

  1. Identify the Entity:
    • Begin by locating the relevant entity within IFS pages. APPs 10 pages are recommended for faster searching.
  2. Construct the API Name:
    • Data Retrieval & Manipulation: For fetching data, create, delete and update, the API name typically follows the pattern: <EntityName>Entity.
    • Data Actions: For performing special actions, the API name is usually: <EntityName>Service.
  3. Verify Category:
    • Ensure the API's category is "integration."
  4. Acknowledge Exceptions:
    • Be aware that deviations from this naming convention may exist.

Example

 

Entity: PurchaceOrder

This article details how to find IFS's standard integration APIs, specifically those categorized as 'integration'. These APIs, designed for seamless third-party data exchange, offer often superior performance and a more stable maintenance roadmap compared to 'user' APIs, which are tied to client pages.
