MacroScheduler -> API

Post by TheMcD » Thu Mar 23, 2017 1:17 am

Hi Everyone,

I see the MS can easily grab data and move it to another location (example: Excel to Web form)...

But what is the solution where the only way to submit data is through an API, how could that be done?

Thanks

You need to be more specific, what type of API are we talking about? I've used MS to communicate with different type of software using API. SolidWorks and Arena PLM. Arena use a HTML based API and SW uses a Visual Basic based API.

An API that is expecting communication from a web server, web to web.

I don't see how we couldn't communicate with a web API, a desktop computer is a computer as well.

Arena (in my case) is Cloud based, thus I communicate with it using a web based API. So what is your question?

You need to be more specific. Certainly you can interact with web services / soap services , you can send/parse XML, JSon. Plenty of people have done that.

Looks like it, yes. Just web requests.
