Create Thing via REST

What is the URL format for creating a new thing based on a template via the REST API?
4 REPLIES 4

Hi Derek, if you check the available Entity Services (part of Resources) you'll find CloneThing and CreateThing.

Please read the Wiki entries because there are some important steps that must be followed.

I have looked at that section. All I see is the following. I do not know how to call CloneThing or CreateThing via REST.

  • EntityServices - helper functions to create and delete ThingWorx Model Entities, such as Things, Users, Groups, and Networks.

Hi Derek, for full information on the REST API please see section A in the Wiki.

We understand that as a platform Thingworx presents a very comprehensive and rich development environment, which can make it challenging to find the right information. That's why we recommend attending either a live Training or Subscribe to the eLearning to all our users. Equipped with that you'll become a Thingworx expert in no time.
Training dates are published on our website and please contact your sales Rep to get a subscription to eLearning.

Derek,

The format is as follows:


/Thingworx/Resources/EntityServices/Services/CreateThing?method=post&name=ThingName&description=An%20Example%20Thing&thingTemplateName=GenericThing
