Infor Distribution SX.e API
A REST service exists (the SX REST API), but its Swagger reference lives inside customer tenants and community forum threads are the de facto docs. Cloud customers go through the ION API Gateway with OAuth 2.0 and per-tenant .ionapi credentials; nothing is self-serve.
Frequently asked questions
Infor Distribution SX.e scores F on the API Report Card. A REST service exists (the SX REST API), but its Swagger reference lives inside customer tenants and community forum threads are the de facto docs. Cloud customers go through the ION API Gateway with OAuth 2.0 and per-tenant .ionapi credentials; nothing is self-serve.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Infor Distribution SX.e API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Infor Distribution SX.e data. See the Infor Distribution SX.e integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/infor-distribution-sx-e-api.
