BigID has three main integration options: the BigID API, BigID Applications, and BigID Connectors.

If you just want to integrate with BigID programmatically, the API is the fastest way to get started. You can browse a listing of our APIs at https://docs.bigid.com/ or them out using our sandbox environment in Postman. We also have a tutorial on how to get up and running here

If you're interested in adding functionality to the BigID product, creating a BigID App is the way to go. In the BigID AppDev class you'll learn to go from nothing to a fully functional app in just two days. Learn more about the class and how to sign up on the AppDev Classes page.

If you want to scan an external system, you'll want to create a connector. The why and how behind connectors is located on our connectors page.

+BigID has [[BigID_Integration_Options|three main integration options]]: the BigID API, BigID Applications, and BigID Connectors.
-In this article, you'll learn:
-* What BigID integration options are available
-* When would you use a BigID integration option
-* Where to go to get educational materials on each option

-With the BigID data intelligence platform, you can bring our data intelligence anywhere. Each of our three integration options is designed for a different use case.

-== BigID API ==
+If you're interested in adding functionality to the BigID product, creating a BigID App is the way to go. In the BigID AppDev class you'll learn to go from nothing to a fully functional app in just two days. Learn more about the class and how to sign up on the [[Apps/AppDev_Classes|AppDev Classes]] page.
-The BigID API allows you to do anything you can do through the BigID UI programmatically. That could be adding data sources, running DSAR requests from an external privacy portal, or even extracting insights to a data science tool like Tableau or R Studio.
-The most common use case for the BigID API is to automate repetitive tasks, like loading data sources.
+If you want to scan an external system, you'll want to create a connector. The why and how behind connectors is located [[Connectors|on our connectors page]].
-* Documentation for the BigID API is available on the BigID Docs site at https://www.docs.bigid.com/bigid/reference/api-getting-started.
-**Accessing the BigID Docs site requires a user account. You can request a user account by emailing [mailto:[email protected] support]
-* Interfacing with BigID APIs is taught in the BigID Specialist Expert Class. You can register for that class at https://mybigid.com/register
-== BigID Apps ==
-BigID Applications allow you to add your own business logic and UI to a BigID system. This means that you can add dashboards, synchronize BigID with an external system, or even add entire data governance applications.
-BigID Applications are written in your programming language of choice. You also can use our partner [https://retool.com Retool] to create low-code BigID apps.

-There are two different types of BigID Apps: Utility and Interactive.
-=== Utility Applications ===
-Utility Applications allow you to run custom code at regular intervals or on-demand. This custom code will be given a BigID API Token so it can access data from your BigID system.
-=== Interactive Applications ===
-Interactive Applications allow you to add additional screens to the BigID user interface. These applications get their authentication information using the BigID UI SDK.
