Siebel Approval Manager (SAM) has a plug-and-play architecture using REST APIs. REST APIs are used to feed data from external systems into SAM as well as write data back to those external systems. These external systems can be either Issue Tracking systems like Bugzilla or SCM (Software Configuration Management) systems like GitHub or Siebel workspaces.

GET REST API is used for reading (specified as the Read/Update property in SAM System administration), providing the query data element part of the URI. POST REST API is used for writing (specified as the Write/Deliver property) of any data change that need to be pushed to external systems.

Note: The GET/POST end-points must be open without any authentication.
