About the APIs
Deltek for Professional Services (DPS) provides a broad range of APIs that can be used to build custom applications that interact with DPS. This API provides broad coverage of the DPS solution, including simple access to information stored in the hubs and access to more advanced transaction-related functions.
This documentation presents an executive summary of the three DPS API categories and provides examples of API endpoints in each category. It does not provide an exhaustive list of all endpoints. For a listing of available API endpoints, see the interactive visualization. Execute a GET on the appropriate endpoint to find out what metadata is available to you. For example, to get the metadata for the Contacts hub, you execute a GET on https://{{url}}/metadata/contact/. (If the interactive visualization link above does not work, try using Google Chrome as your browser.)
