Preparation before Class
Before learning, you need to know or prepare the following:
Course Learning Methods
Each lesson is about 30 minutes long. It is recommended to maintain a frequency of 5 to 6 lessons per week, and you can complete all courses in 3 weeks;
Before the course: Complete pre-course preparation according to the documentation, and briefly review the main points and course content of this section of the course;
During the course: It is recommended to prepare two devices, one mobile or PAD device to watch the course, and one computer device to follow the instructor. We will slow down the explanation as much as possible during the course so that all students can complete the operation simultaneously.
Content of the Course
Overview of the Course
The purpose of the Jodoo API development course is to help users understand the functions related to Jodoo open capabilities, understand its functional value and application scenarios, and perform API-related development (data processing, interface calls, interface packaging, interface deployment, etc.) through Python.
What is the API
An API (Application Programming Interface) is an application programming interface. Through Jodoo provides users with development capabilities a way to integrate Jodoo with other products, giving users the ability to connect multiple services, ensure data security, and avoid data silos.
Functions Related to the Jodoo API
API (public interface), development document address: https://help.jodoo.com/open/10992 backend+API. The developer sends a request (carrying data) on the backend to trigger Jodoo service.
Webhook (understand), development document address: https://help.jodoo.com/open/11500 hook, simple Jodoo event triggers push data to the interface specified by the administrator.
Front-end events (understand), development document address: https://help.jodoo.com/open/12115 Front-end+API. Users fill in the form interface and call the interface configured by the administrator through event triggers to obtain data or trigger events.
Single sign-on, development documentation address: https://help.jodoo.com/open/11433 Integration between systems.
Why Use an API
The functions related to the Jodoo API have rich application scenarios in enterprise informatization:
- Realize data interconnection between Jodoo and external systems
- External System → Jodoo: Use external data as basic data of Jodoo, use of Jodoo for data analysis and display;
- Jodoo → External systems: data backup, in-depth data analysis, business notifications, anomaly monitoring, etc.
- Achieve process workflow between Jodoo and external systems
- Process-level connection between different systems (A system workflow triggers system B workflow);
- Automatically trigger the workflow (timed trigger, conditional trigger, etc.).
