Hello,

In some cases, we have existing custom apps in different platforms and we need some REST services to get data from several systems like SQL DBs, SAP etc.

Is it possible to call a Simplifier app as a REST service end point?

 

Example:

I will send a GET request to https://simplifier-dev.siemens.net/appDirect/REST_APP/listmaterials

and it will return a list of materials collected from a DB as a JSON output ?

Hello,

that’s exactly the way we build companion hololens apps for existing simplifier business apps.

You can find our new client v.2 REST API documentation via the following link: https://community.simplifier.io/documentation/simplifier-client-api/

Furthermore you have to authenticate yourself in the simplest case with the https://domain/genToken/ api and basic auth to generate a token, which you have to add to the header (SimplifierToken=xxx ) of the actual rest api call.

Example:

POST  https://simplifier-dev.siemens.net/client/2.0/connector/materialdb/listmaterials (Headers: Basic Auth + Content-Type:application/json , Body: {})

connector: materialdb
connector call: listmaterials

Hi again,

It is great to have this option ! I tried several things but I am unable to realize a real call.

What I tried:

1- Send a request via POSTMAN which did not work (I guess it is about proxy settings but I couldn’ t figure out it)

2- Create a PHP script with a basic cURL setup which did not also work.

 

And for genToken, I did not get how it works actually. Can we have a 15-20 min. live meeting to demonstrate the case if you have some time ?

 

BR,

Burak

Hi,

I made some screenshots with my example project settings.

Generate token:

MySQL Connector “MaterialsDB” and Call “Select_article”

If it do not work with your settings, just write me some lines to: steffen.decker@simplifier.io an we set up a meeting.

You forgot a slash / at the end!

Hi, please use genToken/

The slash at the end is required and not optional.

 

It should work then 🙂

Although I got some trouble, it worked now.

Thank you for your great support! This is a great option to combine multiple scenarios!
