Overview

The Fluent Platform provides and number of REST APIs for interacting with the platform.

These differ from the primary GraphQL APIs which primarily cover domain entities. This section provides access to the REST based Platform APIs reference documentation.

Key points

  • The REST APIs provide platform level capability, such as Authentication, Integration, and Workflow Framework setup
  • This does not include deprecated v4.1 Domain-based REST APIs
  • See GraphQL for current domain-based entities and APIs

Authentication

API Users will need to authenticate using the Authentication API:

For SSO related topics, see Authentication & SSO for details.

Integration

While GraphQL is also used for integration, the following 2 APIs provide Workflow Integration and Batch loading capabilities:

Workflow Framework

The Workflow Framework APIs provide the following capabilities:

  • Plugin Management
    • Install, Activate, and Status Check
    • Rule Library and documentation
  • User Actions
    • Get available User Actions for a given entity state
  • Workflows
    • Search
    • Get Latest
    • Get by version

GraphQL API
Edited 139 days ago

The Fluent GraphQL API provides powerful access to data, integration, and orchestration-driven business logic. It provides an opportunity to streamline and optimize requests to the Fluent Order Management platform in a way that is more flexible than the REST-based API.

Connect SDK Overview
Edited 143 days ago

Connect SDK is the launchpad to connect any external system with Fluent Commerce in a predictable way. It reduces implementation timelines and costs so customers can see faster ROI. Technically, Connect SDK is a Java Maven Archetype and Java Library Utils that form a toolkit for building Spring Boot micro-service applications that communicate with the Fluent Order Management System and any external system.

Webhooks
Edited 77 days ago

Fluent Commerce can post standard webhooks to a configured endpoint so that the third-party system can be notified or react to the provided event. For example, common webhook scenarios include order status updates and shipping notifications.
