Access to Sage 100 API

Question

Hello, 
 About a year ago we hired a 3rd party company to develop a Sales Order integration for us. Essentially what they are doing is extracting data from our Quotes & Sales Orders application (using Zoho Creator) and using POST functionality to create new Sales Orders in our Sage 100 company. 
 It has worked OK so far, but lately we have had major issues with response time from this 3rd party company with regards to bug fixes or changes to the integration (i.e. adding a new field to the integration). We would like to bring the integration in-house so we have more control over changes, and we have the internal resources to develop the Integration. However, I'm not familiar with what is needed to access the Sage 100 API. Does having a Sage 100 subscription inherently offer us access to the Sage 100 API, or do we need to continue paying a monthly fee to a 3rd party "Sage Partner" in order to get API access token? 
 Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings, 
 As long as the integration uses Business Object Interface (BOI) or Sage 100 SData then you should be able to maintain the integration. There is no special licensing or fee associated with either BOI or SData for Sage 100. 
 Look into the training courses available from SageU ( www.sageu.com ) on BOI and Sage 100 Data File Structures as a starting point. After that, you can use this forum for questions or issue related to BOI. As an FYI, while Sage 100 SData is still supported, it is deprecated at this point. If your integration uses SData you may want to consider moving it to BOI at some point. HTH, Kent
