Introduction
Apache Fineract is a secure, multi-tenanted microfinance platform.
The goal of the Apache Fineract API is to empower developers to build apps on top of the Apache Fineract Platform. The reference app (username: mifos, password: password) works on the same demo 'tenant' as the interactive links in this documentation.
The API is organized around REST.
The API is designed to have:
- predictable, resource-oriented URLs
- to use HTTP response codes to indicate API errors
- to use built-in HTTP features, like HTTP authentication and HTTP verbs, which can be understood by off-the-shelf HTTP clients.
JSON is returned in all responses from the API, including errors.
Much of the API presentation and design ideas are owed to the excellent Apigee "Web API Design" eBook/PDF and the very good Stripe API reference.
