Get data from ThingWorx API to Display on an HTML File Using JavaScript

[jthiede]

Hello,

I am trying to get data from the ThingWorx API to display on an HTML file so I can use more custom HTML and CSS. I would like to use the simplest ​way possible.

I have tried using ajax, but am getting an error that says: "Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource." I am not sure how to do this correctly, or if it can even be done.

Ideally I would like to do this using ajax and javascript, but am open to any advice and suggestions.

Thank you,

James

Thingworx exposes everything as a REST Call.

You should be able to do GET / PUT / POST calls to get information using either an appkey or AUTH

Any content you post should be JSON

What link and type have you tried so far?

Also see this Thingworx Doc for some further into on Rest API...
