iProva API
The iProva Suite is a modular system, containing a collection of tightly integrated modules which all fit in the domain of quality, safety and risk management. From a technical point of view, iProva is a single package, which can either be deployed in a SaaS model or on premises servers at the customer location.
iProva contains a range of API’s, allowing other systems to interact with iProva. A common example is social intranet software, which retrieves and displays certain information from iProva.
Note that integrations with iProva already exist for various intranet solutions. Have a look at our intranet partner page for more information.

Foundation
All iProva modules share a common foundation which takes care of authentication, user management and so on.
iProva contains a mix of REST API’s, SOAP Webservices and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Services. Older parts of the API are implemented as SOAP Webservices or WCF Services, newer parts are implemented as REST API. Each of these API’s can be called from (almost) any platform, for example .NET, PHP, Java and JQuery.
Licensing
The iProva API is an inseparable part of iProva. No additional licensing is required in order to use the API’s.
Customers with an active support & maintenance subscription for iProva have access to updates to iProva software, which can include improvements to the API.
Software updates
The information provided on this website does always reflect the API features of the most recent version of iProva. This currently is version 5.8.
Starting with version 5.5, you can browse to /api in each iProva tenant (for example: https://organisation.iprova.nl/api). This page will give you access to local API resources and it will also inform you if the customer’s iProva is outdated and should be updated in order to take profit of all current API features.
Customers running iProva on-premises might not yet use the most recent version, resulting in a different (more limited) API feature set.
You can find out which iProva version the customer is running by clicking the Help link in the iProva user interface and then the [i] button. Each iProva API also contains a way to retrieve the version of iProva.
API documentation for iProva versions older than 5.5.0 can be found here (Infoland Support login required)
