The OPX API Module

Data Communication Made Simple

The OPX API was devised to put minds at ease, creating an on-demand restful web service that can be used to extract data from OPX and insert it into another system (or vice versa!). The OPX API is not a code generator. It is a dynamic agent, using meta-data defined by administrators that can be used to select, update and insert data from certain database tables.

Authentication & Authorisation Is Part & Parcel

The OPX API features both authentication & authorisation steps for maximum security. Authenticated users alone can use the OPX API and multiple levels of authorisation can be defined and fine-grained by you so that only certain users can access specified tables that have been pre-defined as accessible. You can also define whether authorised users can insert, update, or simply read data.

Permissions can be assigned to:

• Individual users
• Users with a specific role within your organisation
• Users within a specific workgroup

Workflow Processing Automation

As well as getting & inserting data, the OPX API features a subset of Workflow APIs, allowing client applications to process cases with the ability to perform any kind of operation (such as deferrals or referrals) just like a human team member.

Once a client application has received a valid Authentication Token from the OPX Authentication API, it can use this token to send a request to a Workflow API to carry out an operation.

This means that Dynamic Data APIs can be used in conjunction with a Workflow APIs to change a record in a database table and then perform an operation on a case as required.

For example:

1. A robotic system receives a valid Authentication Token from the OPX Authentication API
2. It uses this token to get a case from the Workflow API
3. It processes the case
4. The robot sends a call to the Workflow API to say the case is completed, must be referred, etc.

Used correctly, therefore, this enhances the potential for robotic processing & the automation of repetitive tasks.
