  • Connecting external systems to Pega's case management does not have to involve complex middleware. The DX API V2 RESTful interface handles it in a few structured steps.
  • The blog walks through OAuth 2.0 setup, client registration, and access token generation in a way that removes the guesswork.
  • Once the API is configured, cases can be created, updated, and managed programmatically from any external platform. The implications for automation across enterprise workflows are broader than most teams initially consider.

What is Pega DX API V2?

Pega DX API V2 (Digital Experience API Version 2) is a RESTful API that enables developers to create, retrieve, and update cases, as well as interact with data within Pega. Designed for seamless integration with third-party applications, it streamlines communication and automates processes, making Pega more adaptable to external systems.

Create Case: Pega offers a powerful Case Management API that allows developers to programmatically create, manage, and update cases. One of its key capabilities is case creation through Pega’s RESTful API, enabling seamless automation and integration with external systems.

In Pega, a case is an instance of a work item that is created and processed through various steps until completion. When creating a case via the Pega OOTB API, you interact with the /cases endpoint.

End point URL: https:// <your-pega-instance>/api/v2/cases
