The OPS-COM Controller provides a simple JSON based API to integrate with. Clients use this API to push to OPS-COM new users and update existing users directly from another system. For example, you may wish to push Student and Staff information from Banner directly to OPS-COM.

Support Agent Notes

In order for a client to use this, they would have to have paid for the right to integrate with OPS-COM, been issued an API Key and had their integration validated by testing with us.


Server setup

nGinx needs to have Access-Control-Allow-Origin : * to work.

The controller also needs to be behind a certificate. 



Client Setup

There is some setup related to getting clients to use the API. First, they must have an API token that exists on the API token table. They then have to have an api_permission record that lists what kind of permission the token can have. 

The permission needed for this api request is user-create.
