I want to provide an interface to JMP, so that users for JMP could easily pull my data in. This would be in the context of a SaaS application, where the user would configure a REST endpoint and provide and API token, then JMP would be able to import data.
This kind of integration is often done when the vendor (JMP) provides a “service provider interface” (SPI), so that service implementers can provide streamlined data integration. It’s basically a description of a protocol, that if I were to implement, would plug directly into JMP.
