Is it possible to use Nintex forms or workflows to communicate with another application via API (Application Programming Interface)? If possible how is it achieved?

I would like to send data from a library to the other application.

This is with Sharepoint 2013 on prem

Hi,

 

If you are using an API rather than a a “web service” I suggest using the web request action as this allows you to insert your own headers and body of the request.

Not familiar with 2013 but in 2019 you can use the Web Call block to make HTTP requests. If you have that in the 2013 that’s how you’d talk to an API

Thanks nlab, appreciate your quick response. I think this is the equivalent of the Web Call.

May I ask how you configure the below to send the API information?
