Excellent example that gives exactly what you need, makeup a request and get the results in a grid. Then you can process the grid or ....... A thousand thumbs up for Jose!
I see on the OData site that they've updated to version 4.01. Can we use this to reference instead of 3.0 or does it need to be 3.0? Sorry if that's a silly question, but I'm 100% new to REST so I want to make absolutely sure I'm starting out without any misunderstandings. Thank you! Thanks for the video!
Is there any additional set up to do for Updateable BAQs to work on v2? I am able to retrieve data with them but when try to update I get a Something when wrong generic error. Same Update works fine on v1 so I am sure it not my payload nor the uBAQ
This is a very detailed and informative session. I had few queries about EPICOR MES(manufacturing engineering system) and IoT apis. I came to know that Epicor has iot and mes capabilities to take control of machineries specially for large manufacturing units. Can a web application integrate with Epicor mes or iot solution through Rest API as well? The APIs which you were demoing in library, does that have any referring to Mes. I am interested to know whether such APIs can be used to control actual asset or electronics connected to epicor . Any thoughts would be helpful. Also if you want me to drop an email to any inbox with detailed query please let me know.
Yes a web application can integrate with MES through the REST API. We do this with our CodaBridge product to bring information from MEMEX into Epicor. You can reach out to sales@codabears.com and we can set up a project to help you out.
Those tools are from Infragistics. You'd have to add the appropriate DLLs to your visual studio. Documentation for using Infragistics controls in Studio can be found on the Infragistics site.
Jose, I installed your Epicorrestapi using the nuget manager but when I do the using statement, it does not see your epicorrestapi. I went back into the nuget manager and it shows your package as installed.
I had to do this as well and also add references to RestSharp and NewtonSoft Json. I also had to change the target framework to .NET 4.82. In addition I had to change the button click method to async and use BaqGetDataTableAsync instead of BaqGetDataTable but it is working now.
You need API keys for V2 of the API. If you are using V1, you don't need them. You can watch our video on Token Authentication for REST for more information: th-cam.com/video/-1vmbMxSZQ8/w-d-xo.html. At 2:07 is information about configuring Access Scopes, and at 5:48 is information on generating API Keys.
Start by running the query in Epicor and make sure that it doesn't time out there. Then run the item in PostMan. PostMan sometimes gives you much better information than elsewhere. PostMan will help you find out if it is a parameter issue or something else possibly with the URL. Then you can take the PostMan call over to your code.
@@CodaBears Hi so using Postman + Restful I'm able to get a "Get" that works. Is there a way to see what the request url looks like when using this tool? I'm assuming I'm giving it the wrong epicor info but I'm not sure where.
Your server is where your Epicor instance is installed. If you look in the Epicor Administration Console or your Epicor application, it will show the instance name.

You are limited to the ODATA that is supported by your version of Epicor. They upgraded from 2 to 3. I'm not sure if Kinetic 2021 supports 4 or not.

Rookie question, how do I get the UltraGrid options for Epicor in my Visual Studio toolbox?
Those tools are from Infragistics. You'd have to add the appropriate DLLs to your visual studio. Documentation for using Infragistics controls in Studio can be found on the Infragistics site.
Jose, I installed your Epicorrestapi using the nuget manager but when I do the using statement, it does not see your epicorrestapi. I went back into the nuget manager and it shows your package as installed.
After adding the nuget, I had to go into references and add it in there and then the using statement found the epicorrestapi.

@@tpyne2542 Thx for the info. I had a problem with basic authentication not working with EPicor but they finally got it working after 3 months.
Im on kinetic and the site asks for a api key - i can see in kinetic theres a api key maintenance, but how best to setup?

Any ideas on what to look into when the baq get data table function gets called and it just freezes there.

@@allencross3599 Postman shows the URL in the address bar including the parameters if it is a GET.
@@CodaBears Oh sorry I meant the URL being sent by this library into epicor. How can I see it?
Hi, Where can I get Server and Instance name?
Your server is where your Epicor instance is installed. If you look in the Epicor Administration Console or your Epicor application, it will show the instance name.
