What is an API?

API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. In this example, the API allows John Deere Operations Center™ and FieldView to talk to each other.

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, please confirm the following:

  • An active John Deere Operations Center account is required
  • The user must have previously set up organizations within John Deere Operations Center
  • Verify that all sections on John Deere Operations Center have the necessary access levels for the connection to be successful
FieldView
 
  • To check access, first go back to John Deere Operations Center and check the FieldView™ connection (Setup > Connections) and click Manage > Access. 
FieldView
FieldView
  • If the account has access, you will see "Can Access" with a green checkmark.
  • Access Level can be adjusted by clicking Edit in the bottom right corner of the window.
FieldView
 
  • Under Organization, you will see Share Organization Data with Connected Software Companies.  
FieldView
  • The checkbox below does not directly control whether data flows to FieldView and is not required to enable data sharing. Instead, it grants a user permission to: 

    • Create new software connections in John Deere Operations Center
    • Manage existing software connections
    • Modify what data connected software can access
    • Remove software connections
    • Configure partner assignments related to connected software

      Check the box below if you need to enable any of the permissions above.
FieldView
 
  • Enabling these access levels will not send over any financial information, crop plans, etc. - it will only send the information it needs for planting, application, and harvest data.
