Is there any documentation any where on the Birst APIs?
I am looking for something like this but for the API
M3 APIs have this... Does Birst have something like this?
What you are showing in the first screenshot is our SOAP API with links to further information. Also, be aware we are converting to REST API and adding services with each release.
Hello. I have been using KB 2174156 as well as https://docs.infor.com/birst/2023.x/en-us/birstdataandmodels/ReleaseNotes/CurrentRelease/API_Documentation.html
I was looking for this for a while and finally got my hands on all the info the other day.
First, go to https://icp.cloud.infor.com/infor/0ae209d9-10e1-4758-af45-fd8db5cb4269 and see the attachments on the KB (KB 2174156). Download the most recent file on it (2023 04 currently)
Then, grab the contents from that file using a text editor like notepad, and paste them into a swagger editor: https://editor.swagger.io/
This will give you a nice modern documentation with all routes, parameters, responses, etc.
Interesting you responded like this.. What is the preference? SOAP or Rest? I see more Rest then SOAP.
All I am trying to do is get a dashboard so I can display it in a custom C# app. This has been painful.
As our Engineering team moves the web services to REST it is becoming the preference. My reply is to inform anyone read this thread of our platform direction.
THank you! Do you have documentation on how to use the Rest Calls? I would assume I either have to login or get a token. What they listed below are way better then what I have seen. However, I would assume I have to get a token first and I don't see any examples.
Thank you! THis link only sends me to the Portal. Do you know what KB you were looking at?
Sorry about that, not sure why the links work sometimes and not others. It's KB 2174156 and this tells you how to create the auth token and request. This link might work better support.infor.com/.../SoHoViewSolutionC.aspx
This documentation is great. I tried to run a basic api in Postman it keeps blowing up. Do i have to make sure something is running under my birst account for the APIs?
I removed the Key and Secret. I build them based on documentation in one of the responses below. No matter what I run, I keep getting the below error.
Where it says "add authorization data to", change it from body to headers
So I got into the API. I need a URL or something so I can display Birst in a C# app though Iframe or something.
Is there an API that can give me a URL stating I have permision to view it?
WIth the Web Services it talked about going through SSO. I have to generate a token for that. I wouldn't need that with the API because I have the Client Key/Secret.
FOr example:
