Meridian Enterprise Server provides web-based APIs that other applications can use to retrieve document information from the Meridian Explorer repository.
To use these APIs, the other application must make a standard AJAX HTTP or HTTPS request by sending parameters in a URL. The parameters specify which information to retrieve and from where, for example, the Meridian Explorer view name, the document filter name, and document IDs.
The request is fulfilled using the security credentials of the calling process and the standard Meridian Explorer user privileges are applied.
Depending on the API and the parameters that are requested, the Meridian Enterprise Server web service returns a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) message that contains the matching information.
Each API is described with examples in the following topics.
