Use Cases

The many different things you can accomplish with this API have been described on the Overview page. There are also specific types of tasks, called use cases, that you can perform.

A use case is essentially a description of how an application might use various components of the API to perform specific tasks; for example, creating an account. A use case, then, could be as simple as the description of how to use one API call or object to perform a common task, or could be more complex, involving several calls and objects.

On the following pages, you will find information on a number of use cases for objects in the Zuora API.
