API integrations

API requests are used to enable communication between clients and servers over the web. The primary tasks for API requests include accessing web pages, sending and retrieving data from web servers or APIs, and facilitating integration between applications. Importing and exporting API requests allow you to transfer data files between systems using the Outbridge solution. This capability supports both retrieving external data (import) and sending internal data to external systems (export) through HTTP-based communication.

API requests are organized in a hierarchical structure. At the top level, there is always a request group, where you can define variables and constants to be used later. After you create the request group, you can add a new API request.

You can also use a API request template to organize and manage web request groups and request sequences. The execution of the web requests follows the defined sequence in the template: each request is executed in the order in which it appears.
