2. Introduction
The Durst Workflow API provides an interface to Durst Workflow functions such as creating Articles, Print Orders and Production Jobs. It also features retrieval of applied Substrates and Substrate Categories and associated Color Policies. Status information can be returned to connected ERP/MIS systems via callback URLs (subscriptions).
The API is a REST (Representational State Transfer) service. As application layer protocols HTTP and HTTPS are used. REST unifies the interface between systems to a manageable and standardized set of actions regarding the expected behavior, which are explained in detail in this document.
Even with intensive testing and careful research, we cannot guarantee the full correctness of the documentation. Since the interface is constantly being expanded, the scope of the documentation will also change constantly. Please always note the publication date and revision number as well as the compatibility note of the used function.
