# REST API for SOA

Use FXWebAPI as central point of contract for FX rates and executions via your SOA

FXWebAPI has a set of RESTful web-services that enable out-of-the-box integration with your SOA. 

{% hint style="success" %}
Currently we support the following workflows:

* Get Rate
* Execute on previously quotes rate
* Execute on current price
* Place Order
* Cancel Order
* Get Deal Blotter Data
* Get Order Blotter Data
* Get Historical Rates

**Services can be adjusted to the client's needs without additional project costs.**
{% endhint %}

## Main Use Cases:

* Execution workflow
* Order placing workflow
* Order cancellation workflow

#### Critical points for Execution/Order placing/Order cancellation workflow:

* Make sure that client has a balance/limit to execute the trade
* Transaction Security
* Internal checks are usually more important than 50 ms of additional market risk.

#### Non-critical point of Execution workflow:

* How quickly trade should be confirmed/rejected

For the above FXWebAPI services responsible for Execution/Order placing/Order cancellation workflow would sit behind firewalls and be only accessible by clients SOA service. 

{% hint style="success" %}
Execution/Order placing/Order cancellation workflows can be exposed by FXWebAPI directly to your end clients. In this case trading limits are managed on the FX platform side (ex. 360T).
