Hi @ranjank,

 

Here are some out-the-box APIs that can be used to import and export entities : ExportSourceControlledEntities, ExportSourceControlledEntitiesToZipFile, ImportSourceControlledEntities. They are available under the SourceControlFucntions resource.

 

Please refer also to SourceControlFunctions.

@c_lowy 

Thank you for your response. Appreciated!!

 

Also, may I know what is the name of api for exporting and importing specific entity both in .xml and .twx format.

 

Also if you let me know the api for data export and import for datatables, streams and valuestreams.

Hi @ranjank,

 

The APIs mentioned in my previous email are the ones available in ThingWorx. They do import/export from/to XML only though.

 

Note that you can also export/import using REST API : Manually Importing and Exporting.
