APIApplication Programming Interface

An application programming interface, or "API" is defined by Wikipedia as follows:

"An application programming interface (API) is an interface implemented by a software program which enables it to interact with other software. It facilitates interaction between different software programs similar to the way the user interface facilitates interaction between humans and computers"

The client software has it's own API that is included with the price of the client license.

But there is also an API specifically for Orbit. It's different to the standard API in that you don't need the username and password for the client account to be able to interact with. You use your Orbit credentials and specify the client ID number instead.

The Orbit API is often used in conjunction with our white label option to provide additional functionality and so our white label resellers can implement their own automated provisioning and billing system.

The Orbit API is also the only way that Orbit customers can purchase client licenses on a monthly rather than an annual basis.
