RepairCenter exposes its data using an Application Programming Interface (API) built upon the Microsoft OData (Open Data) protocol, and based on the popular REST (Representational State Transfer) protocol. The beauty behind a REST API, is that it gives our partners the ability to target the specific data elements they're looking for. This removes the need for large, unnecessary file transfers, and greatly improves the speed and efficiency of our partner applications. To find out more about formulating general REST queries using OData, please visit the site at http://www.odata.org.
