External Data = Thingworx Only?

[swstevens]

Hello,

If there was an existing IoT application already deployed that has relevant data for my Vuforia Experience, is there a way to get data directly from this 3rd party application, or must the data pass through a Thingworx entity property or service first and then into the Vuforia Experience?

Thanks!

Hi, 

I think you could also use http get/post method for sending/receiving data. 

Take a look to: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http

So, this piece of code is running on my project: 

$scope.your_api_name = function() {
    var your_url= 'http://<your_url_domain>';
    var data_on_json_format ={'name': your_name, 'surname': your_surname};

    var req = {// aggiunta Giovanni Panozzo 9.10.2020
      method: 'POST',
      url: your_url,
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
      }, data: data_on_json_format
    }; 
  
    $http(req).then(function (response) {  //chiamata api_svc_ricevicarrello  
        console.log(">> OK: your_api_name");    
        console.warn(response);
    },function (response) {
        console.log(">> ERR: your_api_name")            
    }
    ); 
}
