With the help of the Netsuite API, developers can build their own apps or integrate existing ones into Netsuite. In this article, we’ll show you how to do both.

nlapiCreateRecord vs nlapiTransformRecord – What’s the difference?
NetSuite Restlet development can be hard; finding documentation is almost next to impossible. I’ve finally had a personal break through of:
What is the difference between nlapiCreateRecord and nlapiTransformRecord?
This article assumes that you have some NetSuite experience and have created a NetSuite Restlet. I have written a previous article that describes how to authenticate with NetSuite for calling a Restlet using token based authentication that should help you get up-to-speed.

Searching for and loading an invoice object using NetSuite Restlet
This article assumes that you have some NetSuite experience and have created a NetSuite Restlet. I have written a previous article that describes how to authenticate with NetSuite for calling a Restlet using token based authentication that should help you get up-to-speed.

NetSuite API – Setting up Access Token Authentication
I’ve been working with NetSuite Suite Bundler since 2015. At the time authentication to NetSuite’s API or NetSuite’s RESTlet was accomplished by sending a username and password with each call to NetSuite. If you’re just getting started be sure to read Netsuite API Developer’s Guide first.
NetSuite (I think in 2017) changed this to also allow Access Token based authentication, instead of a raw username/password. As of January 2019, this is now required; the old username/password mechanism has official been deprecated.
Let’s explore how to make API calls with the Access Token based authentication.
