Replication Web API

REST API

The REST API provides programmatic access to Reading and Write replication data. The REST API identifies the replication application and its users using OAUTH ; responses are available in json. We have used SWAGGER editor for the end users to make the API calls so that they can try out APIs exposed by our platform.

The link for accessing the API docs is http://localhost:8080/webapi/api-docs/repl-v4/ReplicationAPIDriver
