API – Customer References
General
This article explores how to add or edit a customer's references through the API. For a more general overview on how references are used in LoanPro, see our article on References.
To add a reference to a customer, send a PUT request to the URL of the customer. This URL is unique to each customer because it includes their individual Customer ID. The URL for a customer ID of 1121 would look like this:
https://loanpro.simnang.com/api/public/api/1/odata.svc/Customers(1121)
Below is a sample body of a PUT request:
{
