Concurrent Processing Framework – Client Developer Guide

The Concurrent Processing Framework (CPF) provides a REST Web Service API that can be used to develop client applications in Java, Python or another programming language to submit batch jobs to the CPF and to download the results of those batch jobs. The API can also be accessed directly in a web browser. JavaScript is not supported at this time.
