Getting Started

Kerio API is built on solid foundations of JSON-RPC, whose advantages include easy of use code readability and wide support among different programming languages and publicly available libraries. If you want, you can use the PHP library, which we have prepared for you.

Kerio APIs Client Library for PHP

Kerio APIs Client Library for PHP (i.e. kerio-api-php) is designed as a layer between user applications and Kerio products. With kerio-api-php, you can easily communicate directly with your server, e.g. Kerio Connect without diving deep into the underlining JSON-RPC architecture. Encapsulation of JSON requests and response is done automatically by the library.
