Custom Integrations

Custom Integrations allows third-party applications to be connected to the DBL content library. Making a custom integration allows external platforms to access the content library in DBL, uploading content items,  reporting capabilities, and more.

There are two parts to making a custom integration:

• DBL: Identify the software or external database to associate with a content item. See the article titled Connections for more instructions.
• The third-party application: the external application designed and developed to connect through the DBL API for data exchange. See Technical Information section below for instructions.

Custom Integrations with DBL can work in a fashion like these other web app integration examples::

• Web App Integration - Box Developer Documentation
• Login.gov developer guide | Login.gov 

Technical Information for DBL Custom Integration

To set up a Custom Integration with DBL for a third-party application, use the access token generated by DBL to authenticate with the Public API of DBL.

The Public API provides third-party applications with access to data like content items, license agreements, and license templates. 

For full details of which data can be accessed, visit the Public API documentation.
