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 api_tokens 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 API request is user-create. The api_token_id must be the id of the API token the client will be using from the api_tokens table.
