The Data API provides a simple protocol for viewing and managing resources such as forms, projects, styles, schemas, etc. The API extends the Google Data API framework, is HTTP and XML-based, and uses the Atom Syndication Format with a few extensions following Atom's standard extension model. Java and .Net are the language-specific wrappers around the API.

Atom also provides the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP), an HTTP-based application protocol for publishing and editing resources on the web. The APP specification is an emerging standard being developed by the IETF that allows you to send an HTTP GET request to ask for a particular resource such as a form or schema; a representation of that resource is returned in the Atom Syndication format. You can also create, edit and delete resources using standard HTTP POST, PUT and DELETE methods, respectively. Atom provides a protocol in line with the REST approach to web service interfaces.

Note
In v9.1 and later 's "Applications" are known as "Projects." The API objects and methods still use the word Application.

The reset task API makes it possible to restart a completed submitted workflow. For example, imagine a sales person has reviewed a product order form on their task list and signed it and submitted it. This is the final workflow step and the form is submitted to a document management system (ECM). All of the form data and the PDF order form image are stored in the ECM. While the order is processed someone notices that a product is out of stock and wants to return the order form back to the sales person's form workflow task list. The reset task API feature makes this possible.

Warning
You cannot use this process to recover aborted workflows. At this time, aborting a task permanently deletes it and is irreversible.

The demo.war contains a api/resetTask.jsp that demonstrates how to use this API feature:
