The functionality of the EWP Network is defined by its APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), i.e. services (specified in the GitHub platform) which can be used by network participants to exchange data. Each API specifies how to connect to the EWP Network for a specific purpose. There are APIs to identify HEIs and others to create and exchange Nominations, Interinstitutional Agreements, Learning Agreements, Courses, Transcript of Records and many more. New APIs (with new services)  can be added to the EWP Network at any time. A summary and description of the EWP APIs can be found here. 

EWP and the Mobility Tool+ (MT+)  team have been working to connect the EWP Network to the MT+. At present specifications have been developed and agreed upon and basic connectivity realised; furthermore, the University of Porto created a network node for the exclusive usage of MT+. This network node will handle all the security and verification steps pertaining to requests made from the EWP Network directed to the MT+, and ensure the connection with their servers. The node also handles responses from the MT+ servers and ensures their accurate delivery to the relevant node in the EWP network. Furthermore, three relatively simple APIs, for reading data from the tool were designed, tested and posted in the PROD Network. The more important APIs -  for the automatic reporting of the mobility data - are still being developed and tested by the involved technical teams.
