Use this page to plan your integration. Each Specification operation has a stage, explained in Versioning and stages:
| Stage | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Public | In production, tested with a customer's credentials, stable |
| Limited | In production, available by agreement. It may still change |
| Designed | Not in production yet. It may still change |
| Group | API | Today | Coming |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLM | Specification | Limited: create food and packaging specifications; read packaging specifications, their chapters and versions; batch read; read packaging components and systems; read a food specification's questionnaires | Designed: chapter updates, food specification reads, search, sharing, library chapters and materials, folders, questionnaires. See the preview |
| Shared Services | Reference Data | Reference lists, allergens, nutrients, countries, units of measure and other master data, in the API reference | — |
| Legacy | Quality Portal Spec Bridge | Read by GTIN or validation date: composition, INCO labelling, packaging components and chapters | No new features. New integrations use the Specification API |
The Specification preview lists every limited and designed operation with its badge. It is generated from the API contract, so it is always up to date.
