What is an API?

An Application Programming Interface, or in short API, is a concept for integrate computer systems on a programming level. The purpose of Intelligence2day® API’s is to provide the tools for publishing or extracting data from the platform, and to provide Intelligence2day® functionality to other systems. All Intelligence2day® API’s uses RESTful webservices and can, be used by any suitable programming language. To be able to use the Intelligence2day® API’s technical documentation an Intelligence2day® API-key is needed.

There are 5 main Intelligence2day® API’s

1. Publish API – For adding content from other systems into Intelligence2day®.
