How API Integrations Work with SchemeServe

API integrations let SchemeServe connect with other systems so information can be shared automatically instead of being copied and pasted.

There are two main ways to integrate with SchemeServe:

1. Developer APIs

Your system connects to SchemeServe

Use SchemeServe's Developer APIs when an external website, portal, app or business system needs to send data to or retrieve data from SchemeServe.

2. API Builder

SchemeServe connects to another service

Use the API Builder when SchemeServe needs to call an external service as part of a configured process or quotation journey.

An easy way to remember the difference

Developer APIs: External system → SchemeServe 

API Builder: SchemeServe → External service
