API Programming Interface
REST/SOAP API for individual integration in your systems
-
The Pythagoras REST/SOAP API offers a flexible interface for programming applications.
-
It enables the integration of specific functions of Pythagoras solutions into your own applications, such as an account opening process.
-
Based on standardized interface functions, individual applications can be developed that query data and execute specific functions to meet internal requirements.
The advantages of the Pythagoras REST/SOAP API
Open System
Trigger data queries and screenings from other systems and integrate them into your processes
Seamless
Seamlessly integrate reference data reconciliation into your account creation process
Vigilant
Use notifications from the Pythagoras application to trigger functions in third-party applications
Profitable
Less expensive than providing a large number of clients
Secure
Highest data security through local deployment in your IT infrastructure
Reliable
Data queries and functions are executed via the API as reliably as in the Pythagoras solutions themselves
Fast
Rapid implementation and convenient programming
Individual
Compatible with almost all individual applications

The solution in a nutshell
The Pythagoras API works technically like a client for Pythagoras solutions and requires a local installation of the Partner or Transaction Screening module in your IT infrastructure. Communication between the third-party application and the Pythagoras API takes place via handles, whereby a valid session must be opened in order to access the Pythagoras functions. The REST/SOAP API offers 40 predefined methods to call various data and functions. The notification function requires a REST/SOAP web service with the specified interface in the client application. The service receives results from Pythagoras processes asynchronously. This is useful when these notifications are meant to trigger certain actions in third-party applications, for example, messages or alerts.
