Certified Developer Program

Connectivity Requirements for Developing an Application

EMS WebAPI™ is an Internet-based API, so you must furnish your own connection to the Internet. This connection can be either through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or through a corporate proxy server or firewall system.

Steps for Creating an Interface to the API

The steps required to create an application using EMS WebAPI™ are as follows:
  • Identify the user system and platform from which the application will be run.
  • Insure that Internet connectivity is available from the identified system.
  • Obtain a copy of EMS WebAPI™.
  • Install the software on the user system.
  • Evaluate EMS WebAPI™ and then design a plan to determine if programming is needed.
  • Identify any additional development resources needed such as compilers and editors.
  • Perform the necessary development to create the desired application.
Users unfamiliar with the features of EMS E-Commerce should visit the EMS
E-Commerce home page at: www.emsecommerce.net and view these features. EMS WebAPI™ communicates with EMS systems to perform payment-processing functions, so the results obtained from using EMS WebAPI™ are similar to EMS E-Commerce.
