SAP Open Connectors

Platform APIs Overview

Use the Platform APIs to access the functionality found in SAP Open Connectors via API rather than the UI. The platform APIs are REST APIs and have predictable, resource-oriented URLs. SAP Open Connectors is a developer platform and provides all the tools a developer needs to create integrations.

We use many standard HTTP features, like HTTP verbs, understood by most HTTP clients. JSON is returned in all responses from the API, including errors. The APIs have predictable, straightforward URLs and use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.
