Hi,

Is there any way to hook into an api that is hosted on a localhost? I have a locally fired server, I use FastAPI (the tool is built in python). In browsers the API works. However, when I try to run a query on a form I get this message.
I have already tried restarting DNS, disabling the firewall. The server is on startup and the server is listening on port 8000. I am new to webcon and just learning. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Mikołaj,

this may sound like a stupid question, but on which server is this service hosted?

Localhost /127.0.0.1 would be referring to the server on which the request is executed.
If this server is not the one where the WEBCON BPS IIS / workflow service is running, than it won't work.

Regarding intercepting the API calls these posts could help you:

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your response. The error was on my side. The server with the API was running on my local computer. Hence, Webcon could not access it. After running the API on the shared machine, everything started working. Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Mikołaj
