Accessing data through web.

I am both the developer and the merchant. I'm looking to see if it's possible to write a webapp that will hook into the clover database via API's. I don't plan on building any type of mobile application. What is the approach to this? I don't want to run manual reports and export the data etc. I don't want to have to login to the site and execute things. I want to do it completely remotely via a website. From communications with other parts of company, I'm getting the impression this isn't a viable option because I won't have an app to publish in the market for the world to see. This is for my company, not to be sold to other "merchants", but just for my own companies purposes.

You can generate a API token for your merchant and use it for accessing API along with your merchant ID. This can be done through your merchant setup options pages on clover.com. check out this link : https://help.clover.com/api-tokens/?u...

For this approach you don't need any app to be published in the app market.

Just like Arumar asked in 2015, we would like access to our clover data. We use ODBC data source administrator to link to our local MS Access relational database. The link in Mark's answer no longer works.

If you are a Clover merchant and you want to access your own data via API you can generate a token via your merchant dashboard (https://docs.clover.com/docs/create-an-api-token#generating-an-api-token) and use our REST API (https://docs.clover.com/docs/making-rest-api-calls).
