====REST API Flow====

Using the ARDI REST API usually follows a pattern similar to the one found below...

[[/api/connect]] to connect to the server and discover important details about it. \\
[[/api/auth]] (optionally) authorise yourself to call elevated functions, if required \\

You can then call functions from appropriate API areas. 

Quite often, applications will consider calling [[/api/getconfiguration]] to build lookup tables of common ID numbers for properties and relationships.

After authenticating, you can call any of our API functions in [[ardisdk:rest_function_reference_-_by_type|this list]].
