API Configuration


CData API Server exposes an API that allows integration with other applications. This API contains web services that are secure and remotely accessible from any application, browser, or smart device. The API is built by creating connections, then selecting the tables you want to expose. You can customize columns, create users, and make global configuration decisions. You can browse API Server’s APIs and manage access to them in the administration console. Click API on the navigation bar to view documentation and examples of accessing API Server’s API.

The following topics describe how you can configure the API to meet your requirements:

  • Connections explains how to configure connections to your data sources.
  • Users covers how to add and manage your users and authentication methods.
  • User-Specific Connections explains how to set up user-specific connections for access control.
  • Rate Limiting covers how to set per-user usage limits and server-wide default rate limits.
  • CORS explains how to configure cross-origin resource sharing to allow browser-based clients to connect to API Server.
