These extensive CLIs are built upon APIs and provide all that a user would ever need. However, if your project requires access to the APIs, then they are available under the following categories:

Agent API
Agbot API
Agbot User API
Exchange API
MMS API
FDO API

All of these APIs follow standard RESTful API conventions and provide extensive CRUD capabilities via POST, PUT, GET, PATCH, and DELETE functions, as applicable for the object that they manage.

All of the APIs use https as the underlying protocol and require an identical set of user access credentials for the given organization, as specified by HZN_ORG_ID, and an authentication parameter, as specified by HZN_EXCHANGE_USER_AUTH.
