The Directus Web Application provides a user-friendly interface that requires no coding skills. It allows you to perform various operations on your data, including viewing, searching, sorting, and modifying records. The Web Application acts as a visual layer on top of the API, enabling non-technical users to access and manipulate data effortlessly.
The API (Application Programming Interface)
API allows the development team to interact with other data sources through web requests. This means developers can leverage the API to build custom applications, integrations, or automate processes. An API request can send data from within Directus to other applications in a format that can be read by other apps. Similarly, other apps can use APIs to send data directly to Directus with automatic triggers. Anything that can be done through the web interface can also be done with API. If you have ideas for automating repetitive tasks, reach out to the Signpost dev team for support.
The API looks a bit like this… You won’t need to touch it!
Directus empowers the entire team to collaborate effectively. It eliminates the traditional reliance on technical experts or database administrators for routine data management tasks. It eliminates the dependencies (interconnected problems) of the old CMS and removes previous problems of having our fixing of bugs feeling like blindly cutting the wire to a bomb. With Directus, anyone in your team can participate in data-driven processes, ensuring transparency and reducing bottlenecks.
