1. Introduction to the API
- Laura McWilliams
Who should read this document?
Anyone who wants to use the API to access Isora GRC- this may include both administrators and end-users.
How to use this Guide
If you are just getting started with the Isora GRC API, start with the overview to learn how the API is used and how to get access to it. Then find the section of the guide that is relevant to the portion of Isora GRC that you need to access with the API.
If you aren’t already familiar with Isora GRC, you should first check out EXPLANATION <-------Start here! to get the big picture.
What can the API do?
The API can do everything that the web interface can do, and more. However, realistically there are some things that you probably won’t want to use the API for, such as filling out surveys and creating assessments. The API is most commonly used for automating activities that involve adding or removing large quantities of data from Isora GRC. A later section of this document will look at a use case. This document covers how to use the API to interact with organizational data and inventory.
