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.

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.
