REST Resources and Requests

Plant Applications REST API is based on the use of resources or pieces of data in Plant Applications, such as:

  • Records
  • List of records
  • Query results
  • Metadata
  • API information

Each resource is exposed by a uniform resource locator (URL) and is accessed by sending HTTP requests to the corresponding URL.

Depending on which resource you want to access and how you construct an HTTP request, you can perform the following:

  • Determine available API versions
  • Create, read, update, and delete records
  • Query and search data

A typical HTTP request includes:

  • URL
  • HTTP method
  • Headers
  • Request body
