Introduction to API and Integrations
Welcome to the technical section of the Randmar Academy. This area is dedicated to helping developers and partners with technical teams integrate their systems directly with the Randmar platform.
What is an API?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. Think of it as a secure and controlled way for your systems to request information or perform tasks on the Randmar platform automatically, without needing to click buttons in the user portal.
By using the Randmar REST API, you can:
- Automate ordering and cart management.
- Synchronize Randmar's product catalog with your own e-commerce site or ERP system.
- Pull real-time inventory and pricing data.
- Retrieve sales reports and financial documents for your own business intelligence dashboards.
- Build custom integrations to streamline your unique workflows.
Who Is This Section For?
This section is intended for software developers or partners with access to a technical team.
If you primarily use the Randmar Portal or the Randmar Assistant to manage your business, you do not need to use the API directly. All the functionality of the API is available through those user-friendly interfaces.
Getting Started with the API
To use the Randmar API, your application will need to authenticate securely using an API key. This key proves that the request is coming from you and gives you access to your data.
Our next guide will walk you through the simple process of generating and managing your API keys.
