Introduction

Systech ERP provides comprehensive REST API capabilities enabling integration with third-party systems including e-commerce platforms, banking systems, logistics providers, and specialized equipment. This guide provides technical documentation for developers implementing these integrations.

API Architecture Overview

Understanding the architectural principles and design patterns used in Systech ERP APIs.

REST Principles

Systech APIs follow REST architectural style using standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), stateless communication, resource-based URLs, and JSON payloads.

API Versioning

API version is specified in URL path (e.g., /api/v1/). Older versions remain supported for backward compatibility. New integrations should use latest version.

Rate Limiting

API requests are rate limited to protect system performance. Default limits are 1000 requests per hour per API key. Contact support for higher limits if needed.

Data Formats

All API requests and responses use JSON format with UTF-8 encoding. Date fields use ISO 8601 format. Numeric fields are transmitted as numbers, not strings.

Authentication and Security

Secure authentication mechanisms protect API access and ensure data confidentiality.

API Key Authentication

Obtain API key from system administrator. Include API key in request header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Keep API keys secure and rotate periodically.

OAuth 2.0 Support

For user-context integrations, OAuth 2.0 is supported. Implement standard OAuth flow to obtain access tokens. Tokens expire after 1 hour and must be refreshed.

IP Whitelisting

Optionally restrict API access to specific IP addresses or ranges. Configure whitelisting in system administration module.

HTTPS Requirement

All API endpoints require HTTPS. HTTP requests are automatically redirected to HTTPS. Use TLS 1.2 or higher.

Common Integration Scenarios

Typical integration use cases with implementation guidance for each.

E-Commerce Integration

Sync products, inventory, prices, and orders between ERP and e-commerce platform. Real-time inventory updates prevent overselling. Orders created in e-commerce automatically generate sales orders in ERP.

Banking Integration

Import bank statements automatically for reconciliation. APIs support multiple bank formats including MT940, BAI, and CSV. System matches transactions to payments and highlights exceptions.

Logistics Integration

Generate shipping labels, track shipments, and update delivery status. Integration with major carriers including Blue Dart, DTDC, Delhivery, and others.

Payment Gateway Integration

Process online payments and update ERP automatically. Support for Razorpay, PayU, CCAvenue, and other Indian payment gateways.

USTER Integration for Textile Mills

Specialized integration for textile industry connecting ERP with USTER testing equipment.

Test Data Import

Automatically import test results from USTER HVI, AFIS, Tensorapid, and Classimat. Test results linked to production lots through QR codes.

Quality Alerts

System monitors incoming test data and generates alerts when parameters exceed limits. Email and SMS notifications to quality team.

Statistical Analysis

Historical test data enables trend analysis and SPC charting. Identify quality drift before parameters go out of spec.

Implementation

USTER integration requires network connectivity between USTER PC and ERP server. Configuration wizard simplifies setup and testing.

API Endpoints Reference

Key API endpoints organized by functional area.

Customer APIs

GET /api/v1/customers - List customers GET /api/v1/customers/{id} - Get customer details POST /api/v1/customers - Create customer PUT /api/v1/customers/{id} - Update customer DELETE /api/v1/customers/{id} - Delete customer

Inventory APIs

GET /api/v1/items - List items GET /api/v1/items/{id}/stock - Get stock levels POST /api/v1/stock/adjustment - Adjust stock GET /api/v1/warehouses - List warehouses

Sales APIs

POST /api/v1/sales-orders - Create sales order GET /api/v1/sales-orders/{id} - Get order details PUT /api/v1/sales-orders/{id}/status - Update order status GET /api/v1/invoices - List invoices

Production APIs

POST /api/v1/work-orders - Create work order GET /api/v1/work-orders/{id} - Get work order POST /api/v1/production/report - Report production GET /api/v1/quality/tests - List quality tests

Code Examples

Sample code demonstrating common API operations.

JavaScript Example

const response = await fetch("https://api.systecherp.com/v1/customers", { method: "GET", headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY", "Content-Type": "application/json" } }); const customers = await response.json();

Python Example

import requests headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY", "Content-Type": "application/json" } response = requests.get( "https://api.systecherp.com/v1/customers", headers=headers ) customers = response.json()

C# Example

using (var client = new HttpClient()) { client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add( "Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"); var response = await client.GetAsync( "https://api.systecherp.com/v1/customers"); var customers = await response.Content .ReadAsStringAsync(); }

Best Practices

Recommendations for robust, maintainable integrations.

Error Handling

Always check HTTP status codes. Implement retry logic for transient failures. Log errors with sufficient context for troubleshooting. Handle rate limiting gracefully.

Data Validation

Validate data before sending to API. Check required fields, data types, and business rules. API will reject invalid requests with descriptive error messages.

Performance Optimization

Use bulk APIs when processing multiple records. Implement pagination for large result sets. Cache reference data that changes infrequently. Minimize API calls through efficient design.

Monitoring and Logging

Log all API requests and responses. Monitor integration health and set up alerts for failures. Track API performance and optimize slow operations.
