#Integration Methods

#API Integration

NocoBase provides powerful API capabilities for integrating with external applications and services:

• API Keys: Secure authentication using API keys for programmatic access to NocoBase resources
• API Documentation: Built-in API documentation for exploring and testing endpoints

#Single Sign-On (SSO)

Integrate with enterprise identity systems for unified authentication:

• SSO Integration: Support for SAML, OIDC, CAS, LDAP, and third-party platform authentication
• Centralized user management and access control
• Seamless authentication experience across systems

#Workflow Integration

Connect NocoBase workflows with external systems:

• Workflow Webhook: Receive events from external systems to trigger workflows
• Workflow HTTP Request: Send HTTP requests to external APIs from workflows
• Automate business processes across platforms

#External Data Sources

Connect to external databases and data systems:

• External Databases: Directly connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MSSQL, Oracle, and KingbaseES databases

#Data Integration

• Connect to multiple data sources
• Aggregate data from different systems
• Create unified dashboards and reports

#Security Considerations

When integrating NocoBase with external systems, consider the following security best practices:

1. Use HTTPS: Always use encrypted connections for data transmission
2. Secure API Keys: Store API keys securely and rotate them regularly
3. Principle of Least Privilege: Grant only necessary permissions for integrations
4. Audit Logging: Monitor and log integration activities
5. Data Validation: Validate all data from external sources
