Welcome

This tutorial targets developers intending to integrate their applications with QVANTUM via the QVANTUM Public API. With completion of this tutorial, readers will be able to use the QVANTUM Public API to prepare a QVANTUM planning application, update data and metadata of a planning application and export data collected with a planning application in QVANTUM.

Overview

This tutorial is organized in the following topics:

  1. Getting a Tenant: request tenant
  2. General Information: general information about the structure of the API and how to access it
  3. Planning Models: upload, update and export of models
  4. Key Figures: upload, update and export of key figures (formulas)
  5. Handling Cell Data: uploading, deleting and exporting cell data
  6. Define Team: inviting an initial team an updating it
  7. Managing Folders and Forms: import and export folders and forms

Tools

For most relevant use cases, this tutorial documents the interaction with the QVANTUM Public API using the wide-spread tool curl, thus allowing developers with access to a valid QVANTUM tenant context to follow along and prototype their integration. For each QVANTUM Public API call, this tutorial provides an executable curl command line and a description of the most relevant details of request and response payloads.

Sample Data

All examples in this tutorial are based on the same, close-to-minimal sample data set. The tutorial sample data set is available for download below.
