Connection to external systems via XTAPI

Via REST-API or Windows DLL

You can access the project time recording data records independently of the database via an interface. This allows you, for example, to establish a direct connection to your existing ERP or CRM system in order to exchange data records between the two systems.

REST API

The XTRESTAPI is an interface for database-independent access to the program's data records.

IMPORTANT: In order to be able to use the XTRESTAPI, the XTCloudserver must be installed and accessible via XTWeb.
