The CMS has Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) which allow a user’s own software to interact directly with the CMS to manage Opt-Outs, or to retrieve information.
There are two categories of APIs:
- Application To Application (A2A): where the user’s program creates entries in the CMS database
- Public API: where the user’s program can retrieve information from the CMS database regarding their cases, patents and related documents
