Calling a ThingsWorx service from Unity

Hello!

I'd like to know if it is possible to run a ThingsWorx service through an external application (like Unity). Ideally I'd want to keep the scripting of the service on ThingsWorx for various reasons, so it would really just be to do something like "MyThing.GetService("MyServiceName").Run();" (with the data returned by the service being re-routed to the external app obviously) or something along those lines.

Thanks!

Hello @Diveye ,

I have not tried what you are requesting, ThingWorx does provide access through a RESTapi.

I believe the Article - CS249622 address your question. Have you reviewed this article.

You should be able to see what is visible using the browser:

<Host Info>/Thingworx/Things/<thing name>/ServiceDefinitions/<service name>

For a method of testing you could use a tool like "Postman" to make the REST api calls.
