Unable to make Rest calls in trial version

[mattavidhant]

So I'm aware that Passing appKey in the url is deprecated in thingworx 8 onwards but i still have an option to enable that in platform subsystem. The problem is when i try to that in cloud version it's showing no permission to do that and when i try to set it up in Tomcat server it's not starting because i need a license file for that and for which i need to upgrade my account.
So please help me with this we're a startup. Also alternate methods would be appreciated.

What are you using to make the REST Calls? are you trying to do this on the URL or using curl or Postman?

[mattavidhant]

I've tried it with POSTMAN and the url directly.

[PaiChung]

What does your postman call look like?

http://twx.studio-trial.vuforia.io/Thingworx/Things/Remote1/Properties/BatteryPercentage?value=1&method=put&appKey=382cbf64-b4f0-4e9f-a717-05438ae51c87

And I was getting error.

[PaiChung]

That isn't a pure rest call.

You need to set up Postman as a PUT remove the method piece and put the appkey into the Headers and the value into the body.

There are some REST tutorial posts that can help you here in the community.

Yeah I did that only sir. I just shared the url so you could check if that is fine plus I'm not in front of my PC. So the thing is I'm not able to enable the requests in platform subsystem. When i try to enter that it shows me you don't have the permission to do that.

See I'm getting error 405 Method not allowed. Please help me with this.

Attached is a screen grab of a PUT call that works. Here is a guide that covers setting a value using a REST call:

https://developer.thingworx.com/resources/guides/rest-api-how-guide/property-values-rest-api-how

Are you trying to set a value on a Thing named: "Remote1(c6e3ba02c6ef6922)" or "Remote1"

I do not see any body in your PUT call, you must include the property name and value in the body of the PUT
