The Company API allows you to retrieve, create and delete client Companies on the platform.
This enables scenarios where Companies created/maintained in other systems (e.g. SAP, Salesforce) can be replicated to the platform automatically. 

On our Cloud service, this API is available via SSL secured HTTPS connection using the REST GET, POST and PUT verbs.
The format query string parameter controls the desired response format.  Specify either xml or json.

PUT Request

The PUT verb allows you to update a single, existing Company on the platform.

You may use either JSON or XML formats in your request.
You indicate this by setting the ContentType HTTP header as "application/json" or "application/xml". If no ContentType is specified, XML format is assumed.

The required and optional parameters for a PUT to the Company API are outlined below.

PUT Response

The data returned from a Company PUT is provided as follows:

Company Response (<CompanyResponse>)

Company (<Company>) Response Fields

The Company returned is only populated with the following fields:

API Usage Example

Given that the API is REST based, you can access the API directly via your web browser to test it.  Obviously for actual integration works, you will need to make a web request to the given REST URL and then parse the response.

<Company>

<ActiveUsers>4</ActiveUsers> 

<Id>2</Id>

<IntegrationKey>xxx</IntegrationKey>

<Name>Test Company</Name>
