The Tigerpaw web services API enables you to securely query and update live Tigerpaw data across the web using third-party applications, such as remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools.
The API specifies the type of operations available and the format of data transmitted to or from Tigerpaw. The API provides both representational state transfer (RESTful) and simple object access protocol (SOAP) based methods. RESTful API requests and responses can be processed using Javascript object notation (JSON) or extensible markup language (XML) data. SOAP API requests and responses are processed using XML data. SOAP methods in the API are now supported using Microsoft’s Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). The web services use a state-free session model architecturally, but functionally require a client to authenticate before making business requests.
Legacy Active Server Method (ASMX) SOAP web services are included in the API installation. Legacy API requests and responses are processed using XML data.
