The API consists of a business object library that simplifies programming the objects in AyaNova such as Clients, Workorders, Scheduled technicians etc.  Every object in AyaNova has a corresponding business object that exposes simple methods to the programmer to create, retrieve, update or delete them.

Because it's the same API used by AyaNova and all it's various add-on's and utilities you have an easy to use and powerful tool for automating any task that is done manually in the AyaNova program or integration of 3rd party applications.

Some of the possible uses might include automating repetitive tasks, integration with 3rd party accounting or other software, generating work orders automatically based on events from system management software, etc.  The possiblities are endless, anything you can do in the AyaNova program with a mouse and keyboard you can write code to do automatically and much more.

The API package comes with a quick start guide and sample source code and applications to get you going quickly.  Note that it doesn't come with the API itself, you already have that installed on your computer when you installed AyaNova, or you can download the latest trial and work with that, either way it's there and ready to use.

The guide and sample apps can be downloaded here:

Happy coding!
