Access via the REST API
ARAD provides the ARAD-REST-API data interface for automated access to data outside the web interface.
The API provides the same indicators and values as the ARAD web application. It also provides access to the definitions of the user’s saved selections.
How the API works
The interface uses REST. Individual services are called through URLs with parameters, using HTTP, which makes the request structure readable.
Each call returns a structured file for further processing.
Who can use the API
The API is available to users with an ARAD account. Calls require an API key generated in the user’s profile.
API Builder
API Builder helps you create API calls in the application. Select a service, configure its parameters, choose an API key and obtain a ready-to-use call.
See API Builder.
API usage recommendations
Do not overload the data interface with excessive requests or disproportionately large downloads. Excessive load may result in your account being temporarily locked.
