Use RestAPI Navigation and Filtering Services

  • FTSecurity Disabled
If FTSecurity has not been enabled, it will be possible to access the InfoPlatform web service from a browser using the following URL.
https://localhost:12345/api/
NOTE:
If FTSecurity has been enabled (which it is by the default installation), user will not be able to access the web services using a browser. All Web Service calls will need to include header fields containing a user name and password associated with a user permitted to access the web service. Use a tool such as Postman to do this. The user can use the same API calls that are described above for Postman.
Enter the following URL in the address bar.
https://localhost:12345/api/
NOTE:
Modify the port value if it is changed in the configuration file.
JSON Service Versions
The RestAPI exposes two versions. The navigation features are supported on Version 2. The screenshots shown below show the navigation features when used in a browser. Other custom web-based client tools can perform similar operations using their own client tools.
JSON Service Test Pages
  • FTSecurity enabled
Username and password information for a user must be passed in as parameters in the Header of the incoming HTTP call.
The following diagram shows how this can be configured using the Postman utility:
