Again - apologies given I'm not a developer, but looking at ways to integrate BB with 3rd party apps.

Is it possible to setup BB to push the data out to 3rd party apps - as opposed to the 3rd party app having to request this. IE if certain fields are updated in BB would be good for this to be automatically exported to the 3rd party app to make sure the database stays up to date.

The only work around that I've been thinking of is to setup an auto-sync in the 3rd party app so it pulls through data on 5-10 minute intervals, which may cause issues in terms of latency etc...

Thoughts appreciated.

   Hi Ed,

   The nature of an API is that it's request-based, so you can request data, but you can't push data via the API. You could write a service or job that queried the batchbook api and then pushed the data to your 3rd party app though.

   hope this helps,
   sb

   Write a little polling app Ed. That works well.
