Integrating

Integrating the Pro API suite of functions can be achieved using either the Primary (low-level) API or the User Interface API.

If you are running Windows, and the Pro front-end meets your input and output requirements, it is recommended that you integrate the User Interface API. This is the easiest method of gaining maximum functionality with the minimum of effort, as programming with these functions is simpler.

The Pro Primary API provides you with the functionality you need to integrate Pro seamlessly into your application. It is up to you how searches are performed and how results are returned, and you are responsible for any user interface that is required. Although these functions require more programming on your part, they also give you great flexibility in integrating the API.

Even if you choose to integrate the Pro Primary API, you might find it useful to look at the sample code provided for the User Interface API, to get an idea of the available functionality.
