Overview

Zeebe clients use gRPC to communicate with the Zeebe cluster. A cross-platform and high-performance remote procedure call (RPC) framework, gRPC offers benefits for microservices architectures, such as bidirectional data streaming and support for high performance use cases. Using this API may be beneficial with Zeebe because it offers advantages for low-latency and high-throughput use cases.

See Zeebe API RPCs for all available operations. Additionally, review technical error handling for a closer look at business logic errors, or Postman to experiment with the API.

To authorize the Zeebe API (gRPC) in a Self-Managed setup, see client authorization.
