# API

**Application Program Interface (API)** allows Valorx Fusion App to call Salesforce Webservices. Salesforce will allow to create API using external platforms. Designers can create an Apex Class in **Salesforce** by logging into your **Org Id** or they can even use the existing or predefined API enabled classes.

* Refer [**Exposing Apex Classes as REST Web Services**](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_rest.htm).
* Refer [**Exposing APEX Methods as SOAP Web Services**](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_web_services.htm).

Create a Apex Class in Salesforce. Once a class is created then, open an app from **Connections List** in **Design Studio**, and click on **Task** and select **New API Task**.
