Get to know us

The foundation of our onOffice API was already laid in 2006. It was fundamentally revised when the development of the onOffice iOS app started in 2012. In this step, JSON replaced the previous XML requests and responses as well as the range of functions significantly expanded. The next major development step was initiated by the onOffice WordPress plugin. A lot of required API actions could be reused from the functional range of the app.

Nowadays, the API provides read and write access to all major modules (addresses, properties, tasks, calendar). Even with this basic actions a very high degree of functionality is provided by external developers.

Common solutions

Insufficient user rights

Often, if no data can be read out, the user rights for the API user are not set properly or missing.

The user rights can be set in onOffice enterprise under Extras → Settings → User → Tab API user → Select API user → Tab rights.

Rights set to “only own” are usually not enough for the API user.
