Web Central REST API - System Integrator

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.
