REST API integration via AJAX in a 3rd party tool and CORS
Good evening,
I am integrating a Thingworx application that I already build up thanks to the academic license. The version of Thingworx that I am currently using is 5.2.0.437. I want to fetch some data that are collected by my thingworx application via a Raspberry Pi plug to a demonstrator that simulate an industrial factory. Every data are stored in a thing called thing0. This thing has several properties such as temperature, pressure, position of a stepper motor, etc.... I plan to fetch this data thanks to the service "QueryPropertyHistory" provided by this thing
My main problem is that I want to use the whole historical values already stored on my thingworx instance in a 3rd party tool: A web application that I have developed.
My requirement is to collect this data via a jQuery call using Ajax. I have read and analyzed every wiki’s topics about the REST API and every discussion dealing with the rest API or AJAX in thingworx community website. I couldn't find a proper answer to this problem.
My first question is: Does the server you provide to me support Cross-origin resource sharing?
Given that I was able to use the REST API thanks to Hurl.it - Make HTTP requests in a perfect way, I assume that the reply to this question is a big YES but when I am doing the same with an ajax request using the same variable I have this error
The ajax request has a semantic without any error. the main problem must come from of a wrong configuration of my instance or an issue of my “HTTP post” request. In order to find a solution, the request is described below:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url : 'http://iitt.cloud.thingworx.com/Thingworx/Things/Thing0/Services/QueryPropertyHistory',
headers : {"appkey": "myappkey"},
dataType:"json",
crossDomain:true,
contentType:"application/json;charset=utf-8",
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
alert(data+textStatus);
; },
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
alert("error");
},
});
Please give me some lead or the right configuration to call a service from thingworx thanks to ajax. This point is a part of a widespread use of case. With solving it we can enhance the scalability of thingworx in an important way that will really matter and help a lot of users.
Happy new year and thanks you in advance for your support,
