REST API for Business Software Integration
Written by Calvin Lo, Founder of Aphelios Software | July 2026 | 5 min read
Connect Aphelios with your existing tools and workflows using our secure, well-documented REST API.
Connect Aphelios to Your Tools
The Aphelios REST API lets you connect your existing business software directly to your Aphelios account. Whether you use an e-commerce platform, a custom app, or a third-party service, you can share inventory, sales, and customer data securely without manual data entry.
Every connection is protected by unique API keys that you control from your account settings. You decide what data each integration can access and can revoke access at any time. All data is encrypted during transit.
Full API documentation with detailed reference guides is included with every trial and active account. You can start building integrations within minutes of signing up.

How Businesses Use It
Sync Inventory with Your Website
A retail shop connects their Aphelios account to their e-commerce site. When staff scan a delivery in-store, the website stock updates automatically. No more overselling or manual count adjustments.
Automate Reordering
A warehouse sets up automated purchase orders. When stock for a popular product drops below its reorder point, the system creates a PO and emails the supplier without anyone lifting a finger.
Connect to Accounting
A cafe pushes daily sales from Aphelios to their accounting software. No more typing totals into spreadsheets at the end of each day. Tax records are always accurate and up to date.
