SAP BW InA API is one of 4 APIs that [SAP BW](https://apis.io/providers/sap-bw/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Analytics, InA, Live Connection, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

SAP Information Access (InA) is the REST/HTTP JSON protocol SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office use to query SAP BW data sources in real time over a live connection. SAP documents the ICF service path and the individual services that must be active (BatchProcessing, GetCatalog, GetResponse, GetServerInfo, Logoff, ValueHelp) but publishes no specification for the protocol itself - it is proprietary and undocumented outside SAP.
