For developers who use the agileBase API to create and update data within agileBase from a third party product, there’s now a way to further automate the process.
agileBase will now generate a swagger.io compatible API description of any table you want to post to – that means if you deal with accounts for many agileBase customers, you can with a common query get the API details needed to interact with them.
Just make a POST request to
/agileBase/Public.ab with parameters
- c = the company identifier (the table options screen will show this)
- t = the table identifier (similarly shown by the options screen)
- describe_table = true
and the ‘Authorization’ header set to the API key (if the table requires one).
This also makes testing with Postman easier, since Postman can import a Swagger API description – so you don’t have to write a single line of code to test out an API.
