REST API

The CYPEX data API is an integral part of the system. Every query is automatically exposed as an API endpoint. The infrastructure honors access privileges and automatically keeps the API up to date.

The general purpose of the API is to allow users to build custom apps which are hard to create with the built-in WYSIWYG editor. In addition, it allows for easier integration with other infrastructure components. It is important to understand in this context that CYPEX is not “all or nothing” — it is perfectly feasible to use only the API.
