Request endpoint

The API endpoint base URL is:  https://rest-api.silvasoft.nl. A request is done to the base URL + /rest/endpoint/. For example:  https://rest-api.silvasoft.nl/rest/ListRelations. In the documentation below we have included an example per endpoint.

You can also access the API through the legacy URL’s: https://mijn.silvasoft.nl and https://mijn.offective.nl. Please note that support for these URL’s might be discontinued in the future.

Request methods

Any tool that is fluent in HTTP can communicate with the API simply by requesting the correct URI. Requests should be made using the HTTPS protocol so that traffic is encrypted. The interface responds to different methods depending on the action required.

Method	Usage
GET	For retrieval of information from your Silvasoft administration, you should use the GET method. The information you request will be returned to you as a JSON object. Any request using the GET method is read-only and will not affect any of the objects you are querying.
DELETE	To delete data from your administration and remove it entirely from the Silvasoft database, use the DELETE method. This will remove the specified object if it is found. If it is not found, the operation will return a response indicating that the object was not found. The final state will be the same regardless of its existence.
PUT	To update existing information, the PUT method is available. You cannot create new data using the PUT method.
POST	To create a new object, your request should specify the POST method. The POST request includes all of the attributes necessary to create a new object. When you wish to create a new object, send a POST request to the target endpoint.
