This feature is intended for technical users, data teams, and system integrators.
What the ANVL REST API Is Used For
The ANVL REST API allows you to:
Pull workflow data out of ANVL
Store data in your own data warehouse or BI tools
Build custom dashboards and analytics
Integrate ANVL with other systems of record
Most API usage is focused on reading data from ANVL.
Accessing the API
API documentation is available at:
apidocs.anvl.com
To use the API, you must:
Request API credentials (keys and tokens)
Work with your Benchmark Gensuite Account Manager or Support team to enable access
Credentials are required for security purposes.
Common API Endpoints
ANVL APIs are organized around key data objects:
Organization
High-level access to organization-wide data
Groups (Sites)
Retrieve data by site or operational group
Mirrors the ANVL hierarchy
Users
Access user and supervisor information
Workflows
Retrieve workflow data and responses
Work Items (Work Folders)
Used to organize workflows by job or work order
Common in field service, construction, and utilities
Work Item Categories
Categories for work folders (e.g., job type, service type)
Posting Data into ANVL (Work Orders)
While most API routes are read-focused, ANVL supports POST routes for certain use cases.
A common example is work order integrations, where:
External systems (e.g., Salesforce, ServiceMax, Microsoft tools)
Automatically create work folders
Assign jobs to frontline users in ANVL
This reduces manual setup for field teams.
Schemas & Documentation
The API documentation includes:
JSON schemas
Request and response examples
Endpoint descriptions
Using the “pretty print” option can make schemas easier to read.

Getting Help
