 # When to use this asset?
 Use this asset when you need to integrate Oracle APEX with OCI Cloud Services via REST APIs to automate tasks, manage resources, or access data stored in OCI services. This asset is ideal when your application requires operations such as uploading files to OCI Object Storage, querying data from Autonomous Databases, or managing OCI resources like compute instances or network configurations. It’s particularly useful for applications that need secure, scalable, and programmatic access to OCI services without requiring direct user interaction or manual handling of OCI resources. Use this asset to streamline cloud operations, automate workflows, or enable APEX apps to communicate with OCI in real time.

 # When to use this asset?
 Use this asset when you need to integrate Oracle APEX with services like Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) for authentication, Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) for embedding analytics and reports, Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA) for chatbot functionality, or OCI AI Services for adding generative AI features. These methods are ideal when pre-built connectors and simpler integration approaches are more efficient than REST APIs, especially for tasks like SSO setup, real-time data visualization, or interactive AI-driven features in APEX.
