Hi @MS_10194939

I am not sure if the API can help you because you need to start communication with Windchill over HTTP Server with credentials.

I usually write own java function in the Windchill that is called by HTTP Request and a result is returned by HTTP Response. It can be file 😄

// for checkout object you can use follwoing API
Folder folder = WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder();
CheckoutLink checkLink = WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(workableObject, folder, "checkout By Code");
Workable objectCheckOutCopy = checkLink.getWorkingCopy();

Or another option exists, use the Windchill REST API.
