With the Kontainer API integration, you can connect your existing systems directly to Kontainer through a software-to-software interface. This allows you to automate file handling, synchronize metadata, and enable seamless data exchange between Kontainer and CMS, PIM, ERP, webshops, CRM, or other platforms.
The Kontainer API makes it possible for your applications to read, create, update, and delete files and data in Kontainer without manual steps. You can integrate Kontainer into your existing workflows and automate tasks such as uploads, metadata synchronization, and product data management.
The API is based on modern standards such as REST and JSON:API, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of systems.
