The administrative interface of OS4X is available in different versions. The most common one is the web interface, which is accessed via a webbrowser of your choice.
All interfaces share the same datasource: the OS4Xapi. The complete communication between the frontend and backend is done via http or https. The OS4Xapi is distributed in the directory of the OS4X administrative web interface, but can be installed seperately outside of this directory wherever your interface expects it.
