AASHTOWare OpenAPI is a state-of-the-art API integration platform that delivers a portfolio of APIs supporting the broader suite of AASHTOWare applications. It is engineered to empower public agencies, contractors, commercial organizations, and independent developers in leveraging secure, and realtime data exchanges. The system offers a standards-based, web-delivered solution that leverages a modern cloud infrastructure and a robust data service framework, enabling developers and integrators to access, analyze and share data across multiple platforms and devices. This allows AASHTOWare OpenAPI to ensure security, scalability, and performance.
The platform is designed to simplify user authentication, usage tracking, and reporting, delivering a robust suite of features for both evaluation and production environments. AASHTOWare OpenAPI takes an open-system approach and is designed to reduce the friction in unlocking value between technology assets to achieve more efficient innovation.
AASHTOWare OpenAPI provides all the necessary infrastructure, resources, and cloud services for agencies running AASHTOWare applications to extend their capabilities with no additional hardware, specialized licensing, or supplemental software purchases. Through a simple configuration, agencies enable their existing AASHTOWare applications to utilize the AASHTOWare OpenAPI components. Part of the AASHTOWare OpenAPI infrastructure includes a gateway and an intelligent routing system offloading the complexities of secure access to the platform. Instead of exposing the AASHTOWare application to the wider internet, agencies need only enable connectivity to the AASHTOWare OpenAPI gateway. Furthermore, AASHTOWare OpenAPI enforces security measures to further insulate and protect the agency data.
AASHTOWare OpenAPI supports domain‑based user management, ensuring that subsequent users from a licensed entity are automatically registered and, if necessary, de‑activated when a license expires. The service is fully integrated with the AASHTOWare Developer Portal, the AASHTOWare Store, and AASHTOWare HubSpot for order capture and reporting. AASHTOWare OpenAPI is accessible for developers at https://developer.aashtoware.org.
