Web API Access

Unread post by svelluto »

Good Morning,

I came across your software when I was looking for software my development team could use to test out our Web API. Then I noticed it was only set up to incorporate certain databases.

Is there a way we could implement our Web API's instead of direct SQL?

For example: We would set up a WebApi endpoint (in our server software), then set up a WebApi object in your software pointing to our endpoint. Then we would create a form, and tell it which WebApi object is used to load data when the form is opened (with parameters, like an ID when opening from a browse window), then on the submit be able to POST the data back to a different WebApi object.

I know this would help my team as we build our WebApi's long before we start building our UI, and have always been looking for software to use to just create forms to test our WebApi's. So far your software has come to closest to what we're looking to accomplish.

Thanks,
toms

Hi,

That should be feasible. There are Javascript and PHP events where you can execute code. E.g. when the form is saved or loaded, you run PHP/JS code to load data/save data:

svelluto,

You should be able to do it.

We do it with things like Xero, Salesforce and DropBox.
