Ready to dig in? See the List of Interfaces below for a brief description of the available interfaces. Click on an interface for more detail, including a description of the resources you can call during a transaction and a sample request and response message. For a quick link to an index of all resources, click “routing table” at the top right of the page.

Examples

The examples in this guide use cURL, an open-source command line tool, to send HTTPS requests. These examples work on computers running Mac OS, Linux, or Cygwin (a collection of tools for running Linux apps on Windows). If you want to use cURL during your development and testing process, it is available at curl.haxx.se.

All the examples show URLs for the Apperian NA (North America) production environment. There are different base URLs for EU (Europe) and NA environments (see Base URL for API Resources). If you copy examples from this guide, be sure to use the correct URL.
