Integrate applications

You can build custom applications or services that integrate with your Azure DevOps Services and Team Foundation Server (TFS) accounts by using the REST APIs to make direct HTTP calls, or utilize our .NET Client Libraries.

Along with interacting with Azure DevOps Services or TFS in your application, you can also integrate with popular third-party services such as Slack or Jenkins.
