POST Company

The Company API allows you to retrieve, create and delete client Companies on the platform. This enables scenarios where Companies created/maintained in other systems (e.g,. SAP, Salesforce) can be replicated to the platform automatically. On our Cloud service, this API is available via SSL-secured HTTPS connection using the REST GET, POST and PUT verbs.
The format query string parameter controls the desired response format. Specify either xml or json.

/api/v2/company?format=xml/json


POST Request

You may use either JSON or XML formats in your request. You indicate this by setting the ContentType HTTP header as "application/json" or "application/xml." If no ContentType is specified, XML format is assumed. The required and optional parameters for a POST to the Company API are outlined below.

Note that if you wish to automatically create a support user for your internal use with this Company, you should set the AddSupportUser property on Company to be True.

API Usage Example

Given that the API is REST-based, you can access the API directly via your web browser to test it. Obviously, for actual integration works, you will need to make a web request to the given REST URL and then parse the response.

Below is a simple POST example which creates a new Company for the specified Vendor, using XML format.
