    Getting information direct from the website

    Hi. In order to built an interface between Actinic and my Invoice software, I would be interested to be able to download information direct from my website, without using the download function in Actinic. So instead of working on th Access database, it would be quicker to work with the initial files. Is it possible ? Where can I find the description of the files I have to use and how can we read them ?
    Thanks. Didier

    That would be very difficult as each order is held in a separate .ord file on the server, not in any database. These files are also encrypted using 2 different strengths of keys. (the credit card details use a 1024 bit key).

    It's only after orders are downloaded (one by one, till there are no .ord files left) that they get loaded into the Actinic database.

        I don't think it is in Actinic's (or any site owners) interest to make it possible for 3rd parties to decrypt Order files. I hope you can see why.

        These files reside on a public facing server (although they are write-only and can't normally be read).

        So it's not impossible - nothing really is - but certainly very difficult as you'd have to do it unaided.

        There is a white paper on the Actinic site regarding security.
