Planning a new API implementation?

Please read also article Getting started with Severa API Integration.

Technical API Documentation

Documentation of Visma Severa's API can be found at: http://sync.severa.com/ApiDocs/. In the documentation there are two main sections: API interfaces and API entities:

  • Severa.API Namespace describes the available interfaces that can be used to integrate to Visma Severa. Each interface contains Method list, for example ICase interface has methods to add new, update and delete Cases in Visma Severa.
  • Severa.Entities.API Namespace describes the API entities. For example, when adding a new Case to Visma Severa, by using ICase.AddNewCase method, a Case entity is given as a parameter, and also as return value.
