Drupal Services Module

The Drupal Services module allows you to update a website using another program. The benefit of using the Drupal Services module is that it can help you save time by automatically updating your website for you.

In many ways most of the methods exposed by the Drupal Services module mimic how you might manually work with a Drupal website. The difference is that instead of manually updating your website you can use a program to automatically do things for you.

The services module natively supports methods to work with nodes, users, views and files. The services module also provides a framework where you can create your own custom methods.

Use cases of the services module include programmatically bulk uploading content to a website during set-up and changing content (nodes & users) based on data in other systems.

Consider using Services module when you have need a high level of control about how content is loaded into a Drupal website.
