Thank you for your feedback
Autoform DM provides a comprehensive REST-based API. This enables third-party applications and API clients to programmatically utilise the full range of Autoform DM functionality (over HTTP or HTTPS).
This capability is of particular value to system integrators and bespoke application builders, but can also be useful for performing ad-hoc operations.
The API consists of a set of 'resources', which are each focused around a particular area of the application. These resources enable you to use the API to interact with the system and get data in and out of it. For example, use the /documents resource to create and edit documents in the archive, or use the /document-search resource to run searches.
The Autoform DM REST API is installed alongside the Autoform DM server software. Documentation for each API resource and endpoint is provided as part of an interactive interface to the API. For more information, go to Use the Autoform DM REST API.
