REST API Endpoints catalog

BS_10483436 — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 13:15:20 GMT

Hello,

I'm using WC on my browser, and I'd like to use its API to perform CRUD operations, but I'm not able to find the API documentation as described in the help files. Please see the attached screenshot of the location of these files.

I checked my license and looks like REST services is installed.

Any idea why I cannot see the "Client customization" item?

Thanks,
Bert

Maybe you are looking for domain.com/Windchill/netmarkets/html/wrs/doc.html ?

For Windchill Rest Services? There is also a 100 page WRS guide (current version is WRS 2.3 Guide).

You do not want the old Swagger REST API, it is becoming obsolete

Thanks. I tried to do that, but looks like that option is not available (please see attached). I accessed the Preference Management from: >>Quick Links > My Settings > Preferences. For some reason I can't see the Utilities link/button that you mentioned. If you can share a screenshot of how to access that way, it would help a lot!

I think so, I'm just trying to find the way to access to all the REST API endpoints, I know I can access them directly from WC, but, as I mentioned above, for some reason I can't find the Client Customization option in the Preference Management menu. Thanks.

Me either.

But you might enjoy page 343 "Customizing Domains" in "Windchill REST Services 2.3
User’s Guide". I have not needed to use this yet. There is a related how-to presentation from PTC somewhere, I would like to re-view it if you can find it.

Anyhow, ODATA in Windchill seems to reward a try-and-see approach.

Looks like this is the right solution. However, I was not able to see this option since the Admin blocked it for safety reasons.

Thanks everyone!
