HTTP API

The API is the primary access point to ComodIT. It means that it provides the core business methods, but also all the required ‘user’ methods (such as, for example, updating a profile, changing a passwod, etc.). It is used by any front-end environment like a console, a web client, a mobile application, etc. The design of the API tries to follow as much as possible the best practices of a REST API.

API URLs are grouped by resource or service. A resource is a collection of URLs giving, after authentication, read and/or write access to an entity managed by ComodIT or a collection of entities. Services define methods not necessarily associated to a particular entity or collection.
