Overview

Kerio Connect offers its own APIs, enabling developers to access the Kerio Connect server programmatically. This integration is essential for incorporating Kerio Connect with third-party solutions or for automating specific tasks. The APIs provide the same actions available in the client and administration interfaces, such as adding or removing users, updating IP address groups, reading logs, managing time ranges, and more.
