OData in Webcon REST API
0

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working with the Webcon API, but I've found that the standard API functionality is not sufficient for all my needs (mainly for filtering items and searching). However, I came across the possibility of using the OData standard in Webcon, which seems like a promising alternative. I recently read a post on the community forum about OData support in Webcon, which you can find here: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/odata-format-in-webcon-bps/346/3 .

From what I understand, OData is still only available in the beta version of the REST API. I am wondering whether this functionality is being actively developed and supported, or if it is a feature that will remain in the beta phase. Apart from the mentioned post, I couldn’t find much additional information about OData in the Webcon REST API.

Does anyone here have more insights into the current status or future plans for OData in Webcon's REST API?

Best regards,

Hi Daniel

I raised a user voice https://community.webcon.com/forum/thread/5924/15 to extend the public report api with filter and search possibilities.
The more votes the user voice gets, the higher the changes for implementation.

We currently use the unsupported internal api, which is used by the standard reports, to integrate with other applications.
There was a bit of try and error required to find out what is really needed in the post parameters, but it works quite nice by now.
