Syteline IDO REST API — Agent Reference

Reference documentation for the Infor Syteline (CloudSuite Industrial) IDO REST API, designed to be attached to any AI coding agent's context.

Deliverable Log

DELIVERABLE_LOG.md is a running log of tasks agents have completed in this repo. Each entry records the request, the discovery path taken, and the final deliverable (curl command). Read it first — your task may already be solved. Append an entry when you finish so the next agent can benefit.

Prerequisites

1. Agent User (SYTELINE_AGENT_USERNAME) — introspection only

A dedicated Syteline user whose sole purpose is system introspection. This user discovers IDO structures, methods, and parameters so the agent can build API calls. It should not have permissions to read or modify real business data.

• License: Automation
• Super User: unchecked
• Groups: none
• Password: set (used via HTTP headers — never in URL paths)

Required IDO Permissions (you can Paste Rows Append these into User Permissions!)

These are meta-IDO permissions only. Do not grant this user access to business-data IDOs (e.g., SLItems, SLItemprices, COs).

2. Automation User (SYTELINE_AUTOMATION_USERNAME) — optional, for testing

A separate Syteline user used to test and execute the API calls the agent builds. This user is optional — set it up only when you want the agent to run API calls against the live system.

• License: Automation
• Super User: unchecked
• Groups: none
• Password: set

Grant task-specific IDO permissions to this user as needed (e.g., Read on SLUserNames to query user data or SLItemPrices to query item pricing data). Grant the minimum necessary permissions for each integration. Never grant these permissions to the agent user.

Quick Start

1. Copy .env.template to .env and fill in your credentials
2. Attach the docs/ folder to your AI agent's context
3. Tell the agent what you need to do in Syteline
