API
Overview
Emersion provides programmatic access to your organisation’s information using simple, powerful and secure application programming interfaces. Most APIs have been created as a result of collaborative efforts with our clients. Emersion is happy to consider extending or add new functionality on a case by case basis.
The Emersion SOAP API lets you integrate applications that can create, retrieve, update records managed by Emersion. Records such as accounts, services, package and service plans and other objects. With more than 70 different calls with the numbers predicted to climb, SOAP API also lets you to maintain passwords, perform searches and much more. You can use the SOAP API with any programming language that supports Web services.
Access to the APIs is via subscription only. For a quote to fit your requirements, please raise a Quote Request ('QR') ticket in the Emersion Support Portal or contact our Sales department.
API calls are broken into sets with set up and monthly access / usage fees applying per set.
