Services are resources offered by an external service provider. By connecting KnowledgeKube to a service, all applications in the current repository will be able to call it to access and use its related functionality.
To create a new service, you will require the necessary Parameters that service needs to work. These will usually be supplied by the provider, either through documentation or via an OpenAPI document (sometimes known as a "Swagger" document), which you can import directly into KnowledgeKube.
In order to use this feature, you will need an understanding of how RESTful API services work and some knowledge of how to configure service parameters. For more information, refer to the MSDN article "Introduction to REST and .net Web API".
Regardless of which method you use, the main interface for configuring a service is the same.
