HI,

 

Am a Newbie in working with APIs.  I dono how to start and where to start, but i want to integrated the Attendence/Access control device with salesforce and save the records in a custom object.. I have got the Hardware API.

Hi Sathya,

 

You can integrate salesforce with othe software applications, so first get your data in a software application and then integrate it with salesforce by either SOAP API or REST API. I would suggest you refer following guids to decide which will suit your requirement:
