Product Key

RME API - Read only

Allows administrators to perform operations on data resources (currently GET only) within the RME system via an OData API that exposes business data, including eForm application data, read directly from the data warehouse.

All fields that can be used are visible in the API interface. System, configuration and audit data is not available by design.

RME eForms API

Allows administrators to retrieve eForm application details from any domain to use in another system (READ/GET only).

In some special cases, it can be used to create eForms. This is only available for:

1        RME Enrolment and Scholarship applications
This xml-based API can be used to configure third-party systems to interact securely with the RME system to create eForm applications based on the Enrolment and Scholarship eForm template category.

2        ARC Grants
This feature leverages the RME eForms API to enable import of ARC grant data into RME  Research Project Request (RPR) eForm applications. Both this product key and the ARC Grants product key must be applied.
