API Calls - Overview

API calls represent specific operations that your Client applications can invoke at runtime to perform certain tasks. For example, you can: query your organization’s data; load COA segment / GL data; obtain metadata about your organization’s data; and run utilities to perform administration tasks.

API calls are categorized into two types:

• Core calls - Used to perform data import or data export operations on COA segments and GL data.

• Utility calls - Used to perform utility functions such as logging into the application, retrieving current user session details, and retrieving current application version.
