We have a vendor that we want to use to create a few simple integration points between a Maximo system and IFS (ie. POs, PO Lines, Vendors).  They’ve asked for a database or document library with the IFS REST APIs documentation.  I’ve seen INSIDE Ifs that you can bring up some documentation about the individual API used in a session (such as POs), but how does a 3rd party get access to this documentation so they can write their side of an integration (the puts and gets and syntax and etc)…?

Basically we have a few points to be sent FROM Maximo TO IFS…  They are Maximo Engineers so they know that side of things, but we need to get them the information….  thanks.

Hi Carus, 

 

If you are using Apps 10 You can refer to API Explorer, an Aurena page where you can link to extensive documentation.

If you have access to f1 docs, please refer the below content and check whether you can get useful information for your issues.

Thanks,

@Carus_RGladhill  Hi, The API Documentation is available on IFS Apps 10 and IFS Cloud via API Explorer page found in Solution Manager section in the navigator. Unfortunately, this is limited to IFS Aurena client as of now. We are working on exposing this info as a public service in the future.

Until then, you can download the necessary openAPI specification for each API (via API explorer) you want to do the integration and then send it to the 3rd party. Then can use Swagger or any openAPI reader to visualize the content.
