Tracelink is an open platform. This means that it is possible to integrate other systems with Tracelink.

Data API
The Data API is based on a RESTfull interface over HTTPS. Ie that there are a number of URLs for retrieving, updating, creating and deleting data in Tracelink's database.
Data back and forth can be in either JSON or XML format.
Event API
The Event API is based on a websocket connection with STOMP as a transport protocol.
An application can connect to the Tracelink event server and subscribe to a whole series of events. This can be done, for example be order.update - where Tracelink will send the message the moment the rewarding order is updated.
