What is an API?

API stands for Application Programming Interface. The most important part of this name is the interface because an API essentially talks to a program for you. An API acts as a toolbox that can build a bridge between different programs. With an API you can use functions in other programs and synchronize data between programs.

The authentication method supported by Process Automation is Token and SAML. For assistance with SAML, please contact the Process Automation support team by sending an email to support-eu@inrule.com.

Base URL
