Infor ION API Overview

ION API is a software system for brokering requests from API consumers, such as web and mobile applications, and API providers, such as Infor enterprise or third-party services.

As a broker sits between consumers and providers (technically it is a reverse proxy), it can provide many benefits to both consumers and providers.

Below is a list of some of the benefits ION API offers:

  • Common base URL path
  • Common authentication mechanism
  • Authorize client access
  • Ability to enhance the API capabilities without modifying the target API server or its code, for example:
    • Provide performance statistics
    • Log API usage patterns and search those logs
