API Generator
in the V-Desk system
REST APIs are a cornerstone of today’s digital architecture. They enable efficient, independent, and scalable data exchange between systems, which translates into faster innovation, service development, and global technology integration.
V-Desk is equipped with an API Generator that enables the creation of APIs without developer involvement, i.e. in a no-code approach. This allows other systems to integrate easily at no additional cost on the V-Desk side by enabling data to be read and written using configurable system elements.
The API Generator is available in the V-Desk GA implementation model.
What interfaces can be created using
the API Generator in the V-Desk system?
endpoints
for registration and data editing forms that have been built by system administrators using no-code mechanisms
table reading
containing data from the system (e.g., reports) with automatic pagination
reading data
from documents stored in the system (including values of fields describing a given document)
For the indicated elements, with minimal configuration, the system generates an API with a description in OpenAPI format and endpoints for testing clickable functionalities. The entire process consists of indicating for which forms and views the API should be generated.
The V-Desk system uses JWT (JSON Web Token) tokens and the JWT- based login flow mechanism for authorization, in which an access token with a limited lifetime is obtained using a refresh token with a longer validity period.
Backed by 100% Polish capital and extensive experience in implementing IT solutions, V-Desk ensures greater competitiveness for your company thanks to digitization.
What role do REST APIs play in today’s world?
They connect systems and applications
REST APIs are the primary means of integration between different services, such as a website frontend and backend, a mobile application and a server, or between services in a microservice architecture.
They support automation and business integration
REST APIs are the foundation of tools such as CRM, ERP, e-commerce, payment, and reporting systems. They automate data flow between departments and systems, increasing business efficiency.
They enable scalability and flexibility
REST APIs are lightweight and independent of programming languages, allowing for rapid application scaling, independent development of individual components, and implementation of new features without interfering with the entire system.
The foundation of cloud services and SaaS applications
Most modern platforms (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure) provide their functions through REST APIs, enabling automation, integration, and service management.
Creating ecosystems
Companies such as Google, Facebook and Stripe provide REST APIs for developers, enabling them to build applications using their data and features (e.g., sign-in, payments, analytics).
Multi-platform application development
With REST APIs, you can create a single business-logic layer (e.g., on the server) that can be consumed by different user interfaces—web, mobile (iOS, Android), desktop and even IoT devices.
