We live in a universe of increasing data connectivity. Data sync between applications is now a basic benefit that must be offered by contemporary tools. R2 API’s offer just that. A core pack of defined API’s that can then be molded and fine-tuned as per your specific interface requirements. Simple, Comprehensive, Complete, Fast, Easy and Customizable.
Companies embarking on digital transformation initiatives are facing obstacles that are slowing down their efforts for innovation. One pressing challenge is integrating new applications into their existing IT infrastructure. In fact, 89% of ITDMs believe that integration challenges are slowing or hindering digital transformation in their organization, according to the Connectivity Benchmark Report 2018. However, it is important for companies to overcome integration challenges, as integration is a critical component of an organization’s ability to transform. Here’s why. On an average any organization uses at least couple of disparate applications across multiple departments to run their businesses. Traditionally, companies have been exchanging data between these applications via offline integration using file drop mechanisms or essentially custom coding each connection through one-to-one relationships.
A point-to-point integration approach though might work for a company with only a couple of applications, but with an ecosystem of more than 10’s of applications, point-to-point integration would be a nightmare––taking up time and resources as well as stalling deployments. So, while there are specific instances for point-to-point integration, relying on in such a scenario much can hamper productivity.
REST API are services that conform to the REST architectural style, also called as RESTful Web services, provide interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. These services allow the requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources by using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations.
Beyond addressing integration challenges, APIs provide other benefits––from increased innovation to improved productivity and efficiency. The organizations that use APIs have been able to leverage them to increase productivity. These organizations are also successfully leveraging APIs to increase IT self-service and decrease operational costs. Due to its scalability. This protocol stands out due to its scalability. Thanks to the separation between client and server, the product may be scaled by a development team without much difficulty. Due to its flexibility and portability. With the indispensable requirement for data from one of the requests to be properly sent, it is possible to perform a migration from one server to another or carry out changes on the database at any time. Front and back can therefore be hosted on different servers, which is a significant management advantage. Due to its independence. Due to the separation between client and server, the protocol makes it easy for developments across the various areas of a project to take place independently. In addition, the REST API always adapts to the working syntax and platform. This offers the opportunity to try several environments while developing. While REST - or Representational State Transfer - can be used over nearly any protocol, when used for web APIs it typically takes advantage of HTTP. This means that developers have no need to install additional software or libraries when creating a REST API.
UBS now offers REST API which provides a powerful, convenient, and simple Web services API for interacting with R2 Platform. Its advantages include ease of integration and development, and it’s an excellent choice of technology for use with mobile applications and Web 2.0 projects. If you have to sync data between systems real-time consider using REST API, which is based on REST principles and optimized for large sets of data. By using a stateless protocol and standard operations, R2 RESTful services aim for better performance, reliability, and ability to grow. The R2 RESTful API 2.0 gives you the ability to pull data out of R2 and seamlessly integrate R2 resources with other external software.
