REST API: System Integrator's Guide

Rest API System Integrator's Guide: Introduction

The System Integrator section has these topics:

Overview

Web Central REST APIs can be used to integrate Web Central with other systems. Web Central includes several REST APIs out of the box:

  • Generic data access API

  • Service Desk API

  • Employee Locations API

Developers can implement additional APIs using these out-of-the-box API implementations as examples.

To integrate Web Central with an external system, a system integrator creates an application that:

  • Authenticates with the OAuth2-compliant Identity Provider.

  • Obtains an access token.

  • Calls a WebCentral REST API and passes the access token.

This general workflow is explained in https://auth0.com/docs/architecture-scenarios/server-api/part-1 :
