### Evaluation of the [[Reading and Reporting API|UseCases/ReadingAPI]]
 

	
 
FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for manipulating the accounting
 
data does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.
 
Since tryton uses RPC for client-server communication, it seems very likely that you could fetch any data from the server using the tryton RPC interface. However, this interface might include cruft that may make the API harder to use for simple reading.
