REST APIs

This section contains details about the SolidX REST APIs serving different functionalities.

Overview

Mental Model

The SolidX REST APIs are the main machine-facing interface of the platform.

  • The frontend uses them to communicate with the backend.
    • Integrations can use them to automate or extend system behaviour.
    • Much of the API surface is generated from metadata and backend structure, then extended where needed. So the intuition is: the REST API layer is the runtime contract between your metadata-driven backend and the outside world.

This section provides an overview of the SolidX REST APIs, which are designed to facilitate various functionalities within the SolidX framework. These APIs serve as the backbone for communication between the frontend and backend, enabling seamless data exchange and operations.
