The Power of PentaConnect
The PentaConnect APIs are built around an open API framework. The PentaConnect APIs are deployed in Microsoft Azure and utilize Oauth2 for authentication and Azure’s APIM tool to manage connections to the APIs. The connections to the PENTA database are routed through the data services installed on your Penta Web server, which already manages all existing external communication to your PENTA database. Unlike more traditional database connections (like interfaces or direct database calls), the PentaConnect APIs have built in performance, security, and scalability protections to ensure stable performance and prevent unauthorized access to your Penta ERP data.
Pricing:
Each PentaConnect API has an annual cost and is included in a schedule of products and services agreement for the PentaConnect APIs. Contract renewals for the PentaConnect APIs are subject to the Penta MSA.
Technical Specifications:
Customers are required to be on PENTA version 24.1 or higher to receive the PentaConnect APIs.
PentaConnect APIs require a Web Server for installation.
The PentaConnect APIs have rate limits to protect against excessive API calls that can cause performance issues with the Oracle database. The following restrictions are enabled on all PentaConnect APIs:
PentaConnect APIs allow up to 15,000 API calls in a 24 hours period per API as part of the default API configuration (see above for list of APIs). This can be updated to accommodate a higher number of API calls for an additional fee.
PentaConnect has a rate limit of 100 calls per 10 seconds to prevent usage spikes and denial of service attacks.
PentaConnect responses will time out after 300 seconds to prevent excessive resource consumption of large API requests.

Penta reserves the right to update the PENTA versioning requirements for any future API enhancements or additions.
