Information on OMS API

OMS uses APIs to pull data from the IHQ database and load the information into the application. The OMS APIs can be run in Postman to access the desired JSON data. There are many options in Postman so the following outlines what a user needs to do in order to get results when calling an OMS API. 

Overview

URL

Users should refer to the articles below for each OMS API as the parameters will vary for each one. It is important to format the URL correctly to ensure the request can be returned. The following articles will offer additional information regarding each API URL and the available parameters. All of these APIs are "GET" calls and return JSON data. All endpoints require an authorization header included in the request.

In order to call IPS APIs, an `access_token` is required to be sent in the `authorization` header with the request. In order to retrieve a token, a client application registration is required. To set up machine-to-machine access, follow the steps outlined in the document below.
