Application Programming Interface (API) in WMS

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of tools and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs enable the integration of various systems and services in WMS.

iHub uses REST API architecture. This means it follows a set of rules for creating web services that allow different applications to interact over the internet using standard HTTP protocols.

Types of services:

1. Submitting Data: This is done through the Load services. When you need to send data to the hub, you use these services.

2. Querying Data: This is handled by the Retrieve services. When you need to get data from the hub, you use these services.

3. Pushing Data: Data can also be automatically sent to a client’s URL endpoint using the Push services. This means the hub can send data to a specified location without needing a manual request.

1. Log in to iHub site

2. Navigate to Support Menu and Click Rest Testing Tool
