PurpleCube AI provides a service interface through its web-based platform UI that customers use to interact with the service, configure workflows, manage data, and access analytics and automation features.
Beyond the web UI, PurpleCube AI also offers API capabilities (such as REST-style interfaces) that allow integration with external systems and automation of tasks. These programmatic interfaces serve as an additional service interface for interacting with the platform. - Accessibility standards

- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
PurpleCube AI allows users to integrate external systems and services through API-enabled jobs within its workflow and pipeline framework. Using REST based interactions (for example HTTP GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE), users can connect to third party systems, retrieve or send data, and orchestrate external processes as part of end to end data and analytics workflows. API interactions are configured within PurpleCube Studio as part of job definitions, enabling automation of data ingestion, enrichment, and downstream delivery. This allows users to build repeatable, automated integrations without manual intervention once configured.
API usage is configured as part of workflow design in the platform. Users can modify API endpoints, parameters, authentication headers, and payloads by updating the relevant workflow or job configuration.
PurpleCube AI does not document APIs for platform setup, environment provisioning, user or role management, or system-wide configuration. Administrative and service level changes must be performed through the PurpleCube user interface or via vendor managed processes, and API usage cannot bypass platform security or access controls. - API documentation
