SAP API

SAP API refers to the collection of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by SAP SE for integrating with and extending its enterprise software ecosystem, including ERP, CRM, and S/4HANA systems. These APIs enable developers to programmatically access SAP data, automate business processes, and build custom applications that interact with SAP solutions. They are typically RESTful or OData-based, supporting modern web standards for interoperability.

Also known as: SAP Application Programming Interface, SAP REST API, SAP OData API, SAP Integration API, SAP Cloud API
