Overview
This space contains all information regarding TerraIndex that could be useful for third parties.
For external software that tries to insert or export data from the TerraIndex database, through an API.
There is also a section that describes the lab communication and setting up the connection between a lab and TerraIndex.
Compatibility
In the past we have hosted several implementations of our API's; ASMX, SVC and REST.
API testing tools
We generally recommend to test our API calls in a third part API testing tool first.
This provides insights into the workings of the API, without having to start coding right away. This also ensures any bugs in code do not interfere with the actual API call.
Our favorite API testing tools:
- Postman (https://www.postman.com/)
- Insomnia (https://insomnia.rest/)
