Self-Hosted Laserfiche API Server

The Laserfiche API Server provides programmatic access to Laserfiche for self-hosted systems.

The self-hosted Laserfiche API Server can be installed to connect with your self-hosted Laserfiche Server. The APIs available are almost the same as the APIs available for Cloud. We also provide client libraries you can use to speed up the development process when integrating with Laserfiche using the Laserfiche APIs. The same client libraries can be used for both Cloud and Self-Hosted.

Differences between Cloud and Self-Hosted Laserfiche API

  • Authentication: V1 of the Repository API only supports username/password authentication. V2 supports both username/password authentication as well as an authorization_code flow similar to the Cloud Laserfiche API OAuth 2.0 authorization model which allows authentication via Laserfiche Directory Server.
  • APIs:
    • V1: APIs are equivalent
    • V2: APIs are nearly equivalent. Self-hosted does not support the chunked import.
  • Volume Support: The Laserfiche API Server supports choosing volumes when creating new entries while the Laserfiche API in Cloud does not.
