Overview of the dashboards application program interface

The dashboards server-side application program interface (API) is an communication interface between different applications. In this case it is used to show Infor EPM content outside the application itself.

The dashboards server-side API uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

You can use the server-side API, along with the client-side API, to embed a list of dashboards in an iframe on a custom web page. Users can then click an item in the list to open a specific dashboard or report in another iframe.

These conventions are used in the documentation:

  • Client is the client application.
  • Status is the HTTP status code of response.
  • All the possible responses are documented.
  • Only one response is issued per request server.
  • Responses are in JSON format.
  • Request parameters are mandatory unless explicitly marked as optional.

This documentation is intended for Infor consultants and administrators with programming experience.
