API Usage

Endpoint Categories

Reference for all available API endpoint categories in Proff Connect.

ProffConnect communicates only with a predefined, read-only set of Proff API endpoints. These endpoints supply public business information, classification data, location structures, and token usage details required for the ProffConnect experience inside Salesforce.

  • All endpoints are HTTPS, GET-only, and read-only
  • Endpoints cannot be modified by customers
  • A valid Proff API token (BYOT) is required for all calls

This page provides an overview of every endpoint category used by ProffConnect.

6. Endpoint Security Restrictions

To maintain a secure and predictable integration, ProffConnect enforces the following rules:

  • GET-only: No write, update, or delete operations
  • HTTPS enforced: All requests use TLS 1.2+
  • Fixed endpoint list: Customers cannot change or add endpoints
  • Strict parameter control: Only country codes, organisation numbers, and search terms are passed
  • No Salesforce data sent: No CRM data leaves Salesforce

These restrictions ensure that usage is transparent, safe, and compliant across all Salesforce environments.
