Welcome to the Basware Developer Site

Your reference for Basware REST API and XML integration methods.

Basware solutions can be flexibly combined with your accounting, procurement and invoicing systems. They can be integrated cost effectively using a wide variety of methods, from REST APIs to file transfers, using both Basware native data formats as well as data formats specific to your ERP systems.

This site presents Basware API and XML integration methods for Basware Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) integrations and API integration methods for Basware Network. Network APIs are for business document sending and receiving. P2P APIs support use cases for master data, accounts payable and procurement.

Different business scenarios require using different integrations. We have created an integration selection guide to help choose the right integrations to meet your needs. Check the integration selection guide for more information.
