Configuring API Settings

FormsPro provides programmatic access to your submitted forms data through RESTful (Representational State Transfer) web services. RESTful web services are lightweight, stateless, highly scalable, and make your integration simple and easy.

Note: This information provides basic instructions. For more details or help setting up an application programming interface (API), we suggest working with OmniByte or another person in your organization who is familiar with APIs or development procedures.

To provide access to 3rd party systems, FormsPro implements the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow. For more information on this flow, see https://authO.com/docs/api-auth/grant/client-credentials.

1. From the Configuration menu, click API to open the API Configuration page.
   
2. Enter a REST Service URL which is the URL used to retrieve FormsPro data. Click Copy to copy the URL to the clipboard for pasting into another source.
3. Enter an OAuth Server URL which is the URL used to retrieve security tokens for API calls. Click Copy to copy the URL to the clipboard for pasting into another source.
4. Enter a client ID and the shared secret which are used to authorize calls to the FormsPro API. Click Copy to copy the client ID or shared secret to the clipboard for pasting into another source.
5. Click Regenerate when you get a new client ID and/or shared secret. This removes access to old connections and updates to new.
6. Click Save API Configuration to save the configuration information.
