(...) Hello! Is there anyone who could help me figure out how to call an external REST api from behind a corporate proxy? I manage to successfully call it using Postman application installed on the server where Webcon is installed. However, when the same call is made from Webcon, it doesn't work.

(...) When adding or updating elements via Rest api , for picker fields it is required to provide Id and name. Quite often the name is known, but not the id.

(...) t i extended our powershell cmdlets with a use weblogin feature. Fiddler and a bit of research in the web provided the right approach quite fast. Authentication works fine, but when using the rest api i receive an "invalid scope" exception. Seems that the rest api is only working with registered apps. Would be super cool having the possibility to grant permissions for using the rest api als (...)

(...) Hello, just struggeling with setting up the REST api to create new elements from external app. It works fine in application context but I do not find a suitable guide on how to do this in user context. Do I have to enter the username and user e-mail-address in the mask as I assume? What is the "Authorized Redirect URIs" good for and where do I get this from? And: What is the main purpose (...)

(...) Hi, I haven't realized before that the REST api doesn't contain any information about the database column. I agree in most cases this is of no use and would only create unnecessary traffic. There's one use case though were one needs it.

(...) Hi all! I am wondering if there is a way to filter a view with Webcon REST api . So instead of getting all view rows on my client and filtering the result with C# and LINQ, there should be a better option than that. ODATA does not seem to be implemented yet. Maybe I overlooked something or is it planned to add ODATA or some other filtering options to REST api ? Thanks a lot in advance & (...)

(...) Hi all! I noticed that OData support has been added to REST api 2022.1.4.xx. I only found one document, which is located here: https://community.webcon.com/posts/post/odata-format-in-webcon-bps/346 This document is related to the usage of OData in PowerBI. What we really need is the ability to filter views with OData and REST api . Is that one already implemented and if so, where can I fin (...)

(...) Hello everyone, I was wondering... Is there a way to start workflows by an external api without the need to exchange the token first?
