NAME

FS::API - Freeside backend API

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::API;

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a backend API for advanced back-office integration.

In contrast to the self-service API, which authenticates an end-user and offers functionality to that end user, the backend API performs a simple shared-secret authentication and offers full, administrator functionality, enabling integration with other back-office systems.

If accessing this API remotely with XML-RPC or JSON-RPC, be careful to block the port by default, only allow access from back-office servers with the same security precations as the Freeside server, and encrypt the communication channel (for exampple, with an SSH tunnel or VPN) rather than accessing it in plaintext.
