NetSuite APIConnect NetSuite without building on its API
NetSuite has REST and SOAP APIs. Customers only: calls run against a licensed NetSuite account with web services features enabled, and concurrency depends on the service tier plus any SuiteCloud Plus licenses. If you're reading the docs because you need NetSuite to talk to the rest of your stack, Caddi does that without you writing or maintaining integration code: you show it the job once, and it runs it across NetSuite and your other tools.

What the NetSuite API gives you
- Type
- REST + SOAP
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 (preferred) or token-based authentication (TBA)
- Who can get access
- Customers only: calls run against a licensed NetSuite account with web services features enabled, and concurrency depends on the service tier plus any SuiteCloud Plus licenses.
- What it covers
- CRUD on standard and custom records, record metadata, record actions and transforms, SuiteQL queries, and workbook datasets.
- Limits
- Account-wide concurrent web services and RESTlet requests are capped by tier (Standard 5, Premium 15, Enterprise/Ultimate 20), plus 10 for each SuiteCloud Plus license.

Building on the NetSuite API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get NetSuite credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your NetSuite account once. Caddi holds the connection. |
| Writing the integration | A developer maps fields, handles pagination, retries and rate limits, and writes the sync. | You show Caddi the NetSuite task the way you'd train a new hire. It writes verified code for it. |
| Steps the API doesn't cover | Screens with no endpoint stay manual, or need a separate RPA tool. | Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session where there's no API, in the same automation. |
| The other systems in the loop | Each extra tool is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own. | One automation runs across all the tools the job touches. |
| Keeping it running | Someone owns the code when the API version, fields or your process change. | Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged. |
Building on the API is the right call when you have engineers and the integration is your product. When the goal is getting NetSuite work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.

NetSuite API questions
Does NetSuite have an API?
Yes. NetSuite has REST and SOAP APIs, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (preferred) or token-based authentication (TBA). The official documentation is at https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/chapter_1540391670.html.
How do I get access to the NetSuite API?
Customers only: calls run against a licensed NetSuite account with web services features enabled, and concurrency depends on the service tier plus any SuiteCloud Plus licenses.
Does the NetSuite API have rate limits?
Account-wide concurrent web services and RESTlet requests are capped by tier (Standard 5, Premium 15, Enterprise/Ultimate 20), plus 10 for each SuiteCloud Plus license.
Can I connect NetSuite to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the NetSuite task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across NetSuite and the other tools the job touches. Where a step has no API, Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session in the same automation.
Do I need a developer to automate NetSuite with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for NetSuite is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
