Is ThingWorx capable of being a REST endpoint?

[nbansal]

Hello,

Does anyone has any idea if ThingWorx capable of being a REST endpoint. Can we access the value of HTTP header details from inside ThingWorx composer/services?

Thanks!

Everything on TW it's REST Endpoints.

Thanks Carles for your response.

Could you please tell me a bit about how to read http header details using Thingworx composer/services?

Nidhi,

What information are you trying to obtain in the header?

Hello Meghan,

The requirement is to support a webhook from another site, but in order to do that, ThingWorx needs to be able to read the headers from the HTTP request. I want ThingWorx to be the REST server so that when a REST client makes a request, I can see the headers that the client sent to ThingWorx.

Hi Nidhi,

You can't read HTTP headers from REST API Calls, your TW services are executed on a upper level than RAW REST calls.

But if you control who does the requests then this should not be a problem, as TW REST API can accept as many parameters as you want. Here you have the TW RESP API documentation: Digital Media Publisher

Best Regards,

Carles.
