Below is the link to REST API examples. You can also explore related topics and resources on the Acumatica Learning Portal under REST API Integration for Developers.

Thanks for the links and guidance.

The 'Modern UI' seems similar to Bootstrap which I'm using. The plan is build an Acumatica template using modern UI CSS.

This is an example of using the Bootstrap UI framework and the ScriptBasic web server on my AWS Ubuntu instance. I use this demo to show QBO clients how their app will look.

Bootstrap is mobile centric so give the demo a try on your phone and laptop.

Can the REST API be used to extend an existing Acumatica screen?

From what I've read so far about Acumatica's REST API is it's similar to QBO's REST and web hook API.

I'm not a big .NET fan and was attracted to Acumatica's REST API and migration to a JavaScript driven UI.

Thanks support for fixing the typo in the title.

I was able to get Acumatica installed and was able to login. There doesn't seem to be any accounting function access. Is there a demo company that needs to be installed?

I figured it out. I needed to add the demo company in the Tenant Setup screen. Everything seems to be working now.

I decided to go with MySQL for the DB server. ScriptBasic has a C API extension module for MySQL which is lightning fast.

I looking forward to see what's under the covers and how I can seamlessly interface with Acumatica.

Does Acumatica offer a MS SQL to MySQL conversion tool?

The MySQL Workbench Migration Wizzard can convert a MS SQL DB.

Why doesn't Acumaticatica use minimized JavaScript includes? Are they generated on the fly?

I was reviewing the Acumatica .css style sheet and it sure looks like an older version of Bootstrap which makes me think the library being used is a fork. It's still using jQuery.

My JSON extension module turns JSON into a multi-level associative arrays. It expects responses in unformatted JSON. Can I submit unformatted JSON?

Not a Bootstap fork.

Aurelia.io is a modern JavaScript framework for building web, mobile, and desktop applications. Bootstrap, on the other hand, is a front-end framework for developing responsive, mobile-first websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. 

I'm running 2025 R1 which seems to be based on the new 'Modern UI'. The Aurelia.io UI framework that Acumatica is using is similar to Bootstrap. I'm still investigating how this UI can be customized by developers.

I'm focusing on a REST interface for a business logic interface and use a separate browser tab for the UI using Bootstrap and ScriptBasic web server. 

Are all currently supported versions of Acumatica providing a REST interface? What version started supporting MySQL?

I see the direction I'm taking with integrating with Acumatica being like what MYOB did. Use Acumatica as a business logic engine wrapped with custom UI presentation. ScriptBasic and Bootstrap is a natural for this effort.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to create a web based Sage 100 like UI  but use Acumatica as the backend?

Since Sage 100 is written in Business BASIC, migrating to ScriptBasic should be a easy transition for Sage developers.
