API / Open Insight

JeffWMillerJeffWMiller
in General
I am using OI 9.4.
I have a client that is evaluating a 3rd party system that has a browser user interface and a SQL database. This company has developed several API's to place information into the database and also retrieve information. These are Web based API's. I would say they were written to be used by programming languages like C#.
Does any one know if OI can make API calls? I looked in the Revelation forum and could not find anything. Any information on this subject would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

    Jeff - The out of the box solution for making web API calls is the OLE_GetWebPage function. Our SRP HTTP Framework comes with its own solution that has additional features, but chances are this will get the job done for you.

    Thanks for the information. Do I need to purchase the HTTP Framework to get OLE_GetWebPage? (which I think is the case) Or is there another option I can follow to purchase the OLE_GetWebPage. Also is there an evaluation program that I can purchase to verify that this will work.

    My apologies if I was unclear. OLE_GetWebPage comes with OpenInsight. No additional purchase is needed. In all likelihood It will do the job for you. I was simply pointing out that we have an alternative routine that comes with the SRP HTTP Framework that offers a few more features, but I doubt you'll need those.
