A Platform-Level API For Extending ERP

The Kinetic Open REST API provides structured access to ERP services, data, and business logic using the same service architecture used to build and extend Kinetic itself. Everything exposed through the user experience is available through REST, giving technical teams a consistent way to integrate, extend, and interact with ERP as requirements evolve.

  • Platform-level service access
  • UI and backend parity
  • OData-compliant REST services
  • Secure external integration support
  • Built on Kinetic service architecture

Benefits

Treat Developers As First-Class Users

Provides technical teams with the same service access used by Epicor engineers. The Open REST API exposes ERP capabilities in a structured, documented, and discoverable way, supporting consistent development practices across internal and external projects.

  • Full service parity with UI
  • Documented and discoverable endpoints
  • Consistent development experience

Build And Extend Without Workarounds

Supports direct interaction with ERP services rather than screen automation or indirect data access. REST endpoints provide structured methods for reading, updating, and executing ERP logic across applications and integrations.

  • Direct service-based interaction
  • Structured data and methods
  • Reduced dependency on UI logic

Evolve Integrations As Requirements Change

The REST API exposes ERP data and functionality as versioned services that reflect Kinetic’s internal architecture. This service-based foundation allows integrations, extensions, and custom applications to be built on consistent interfaces that remain aligned as the platform evolves.

  • Versioned service access
  • Platform-aligned integrations
  • Structured API lifecycle
  • Foundation for API-led extensions

Epicor Functions Capabilities

Complete ERP Coverage Through REST

All Kinetic services, including business objects, processes, reports, BAQs, and Epicor Functions, are accessible through REST endpoints. Anything available in the UI is available programmatically.

OData-Compliant Query And Metadata

REST services follow the OData v4 standard, enabling query parameters, metadata discovery, and integration with tools such as Excel, Power BI, and other OData-aware applications.

Secure API Access And Authorization

API keys, access scopes, and standard authentication methods control which services and methods are available to each integration. Security aligns with existing ERP user and data permissions.

Native Support For Custom Logic

Epicor Functions are exposed directly through REST, allowing custom logic to be executed as reusable services. Functions can be invoked internally or externally using the same API framework.

Interactive API Exploration And Testing

Kinetic includes built-in interactive REST help that allows users to browse services, inspect metadata, test calls, and generate request examples before building external integrations.

Integration Across Tools And Platforms

REST services support integration with external systems, custom applications, analytics platforms, and automation tools using standard HTTP methods and widely adopted development patterns.
