Powerful REST APIs & Webhooks
Every DocType in Unity automatically gets REST API endpoints. Create, read, update, and delete records programmatically. Set up webhooks to trigger external services on any event.
# Create a new student via API
POST /api/resource/Student
{
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe",
"student_email": "john@example.com",
"program": "Computer Science"
}
# Webhook on enrollment
{
"doc_events": {
"Student Enrollment": {
"on_submit": "https://your-api.com/enrolled"
}
}
