Web Services API

The Web Services API feature enables software developers to integrate Track-It! and other applications or custom utilities in your organization.

The following conditions apply:

The API can be used to perform various actions for Tickets, Assignments and Solutions such as creating Tickets and searching for Tickets/Assignments or Solutions created through other interfaces, and getting an asset by asset name or number.
An XML JSON RESTful Web Service interface to BMC Track-It! is available for all platforms for integration with other applications.
Functions are available for creating Issues, updating Issues and searching records for Tickets, Assignments and Solutions.
After logging out, the Swagger authentication is not updated.

Note

For Web Services API, a new virtual directory (WebAPI) is automatically created by the Track-It! installer.

The Track-It! Web Services APIs can be launched with this URL in the browser: http(s)://servernameORip/trackitvirtualdirectory/WebAPI
