Our REST API is the most comprehensive in the South African market.

A RESTful API is an application programming interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. A RESTful API, also referred to as a RESTful web service, is based on representational state transfer (REST) technology, an architectural style and approach to communications often used in web services development. You can, therefore, rest assured (pun intended) that you are using a standards-based API that your developers will love using and that is future-proofed in comparison with legacy, proprietary APIs.

The Buzz Lynx RESTful API delivers a collection of resources that allow you to integrate your own digital service applications by using controlled access to the features of Buzz Lynx exposed to you securely and reliably through the use of the API.
