  - name: Agilent iLab Operations API
    description: >-
      The iLab API enables customers to seamlessly integrate outside applications
      with iLab's billing and reporting modules. It leverages a RESTful
      application architecture with HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of
      Application State) and OAuth2 for secure access. The API supports
      integrations with institutional financial systems such as SAP,
      Oracle/PeopleSoft, Lawson, and Banner, as well as identity management
      systems and LIMS.
