API

The JobTracker application programming interface (API) provides a means for programmers to write custom software to interact with your JobTracker database. It allows add/change/delete access to accounts, jobs, job activities, job forms, material allocations, purchase orders and files.

There are two ways to use the JobTracker API:

1. Send XML requests over HTTP to the JobTracker server and receive XML responses back.
2. Using a .NET language, call methods on the JobTrackerAPI .NET object model.

The JobTrackerAPI .NET object model uses the XML interface in the background, but it greatly reduces the amount of code you have to write to interact with JobTracker. To get the latest version of the JobTracker API .NET object model along with the associated reference help file, download the JobTracker API .NET SDK.
