Application programming interface

Also known as: API

An API is an agreed interface through which software uses another system's functions or data. It is not a human-facing screen or a promise that every desired operation is available.[1]

An inventory integration must follow the documented fields and permitted operations. Check errors and versions too: a working connection can still transmit incorrect quantities if the systems interpret units differently.
