Application Programming Interfaces

BDS has a comprehensive API layer that supports Web services, .NET, Java, and SMTP, as well as scripting languages such as Ruby and Python. In fact, any programming language or development environment that can call a Web service can access the full range of secure file transfer functionality.

BDS was architected as a platform for running multiple file transfer applications. As such, BDS has from the beginning supported a comprehensive API. In fact, the BDS Web interface, Outlook add-in, and automation utilities were entirely written using the API.

The Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for customers and partners who want to integrate existing and legacy applications, automate process, or create brand new applications from the ground up.
