FUSE is a read-only service - indexing content from an organization's sources of knowledge with that collective knowledge then being put to work in useful ways. Typically there's no need for a third party to access FUSE's data since it exists already in the sources themselves. Occasionally, however, there are use cases and that's where FUSE's API comes into play:


  • Use FUSE's aggregated knowledge of an organization to build a custom application on top of, avoiding the repeat work of collecting the knowledge again.

  • Drawing FUSE content into a custom application where you need to tightly control the display and flow of information.
