LIMS supports interoperability with other health information systems and equipment via an Application Programming Interface (API). The LIMS APIs is a Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs. The REST API is flexible and is designed to take advantage of existing protocols. When REST APIs are implemented for web applications, it takes advantage of HTTP implying that developers do not need to install additional software or libraries when creating a REST API. The LIMS API is also easily customizable emphasizing extensibility and ease of customization. The following are the LIMS APIs;
Authentication : This API allows the user to login to retrieve a user token for subsequent requests
Sample Requisition Action: This API is used to send sample data to LIMS
Result Request Action : This API is used to request for results from LIMS
Result Response Action: This API gives a response once the user requests for results
Notifications: This API gives the user the result status of a sample
Human Resources: This API is used to fetch information of lab users from all supported PCR labs
Tracking: This API gives the user access to data for equipment monitoring
Commodity: This API enables the NDR to pull the CRRF report for
