All of EPC’s functionalities are exposed using REST APIs. The EPC Web App is using the same APIs for its internal use. In short, Interfacing client organizations can use EPC’s APIs to integrate with other platforms and create automated web services. Anything you can do in EPC, you can replicate with our APIs.
When you login the Web App, the content is displayed is filtered based on your user. The exact same thing applies to all API calls, as they use an access token to securely identify the user that is submitting the call. The token is a JSON Web Token identifying the user and its session on the server. As an example, if you navigate to a list of objects, let’s say document, the list will only contain the documents that is accessible to the user identified by the token. This is also applicable if you call an admin functionality, it will be rejected if the user does not have admin rights. If you want to know more about the JSON Web Token, please click here.
