Get started as an API developer

Go through this section to learn more about what you need to do as an API developer before you start working with Oracle Safety One Intake REST APIs.

Prerequisites

  • Go over the basics: If you are new to REST APIs, make sure you understand the basic concepts around REST and JSON.
  • Choose a client: REST APIs use HTTP requests to connect software programs. You need a software client to send these HTTP requests. The examples in this guide use cURL, but it's not the only tool you can use. Check online resources to see other tools that are available for running API requests.
  • Obtain account information: If you decided what REST client to use, then it's time to gather a few bits of information before you can make REST HTTP requests.

Next steps

After you're all set with the prerequisites, here is what you need to do to get started with calling APIs:
  1. Install and configure cURL (or the REST client you have chosen).
  2. Obtain account information.
  3. Get a token for authentication.
  4. Use the token to make an API request.
