The module exposes the OpenMRS API as REST web services. If an OpenMRS instance is running the webservice.rest module, others applications can retrieve and post certain information to an OpenMRS database. Module documentation is available at the REST Module wiki page. Technical documentation for the module can be found here.
The REST Web Services module requires at least OpenMRS 1.9.0 or 1.8.1 to run.
