The Metasys library provides access to information in your Metasys system. Use the library to build applications that quickly retrieve and update object attribute information in your Metasys system.
The Metasys library protocols ensure that when you access Metasys system data with a custom application, that you have the same security when you access the system data through the Site Management Portal (SMP) or the UI.
The Metasys library uses HTTPS. This ensures protection from eavesdroppers and cyber attacks provided you use adequate cipher suites and that, the server certificate is verified and trusted. For information on creating secure log in credentials, see Login method.
Note: To use the Metasys library, you do not need to
know the full details of how the web API call works.
