Get the RESTful Web service information

To access a Web service, you must get the information from the service provider.

REST Web services support the OpenAPI specification. You can use the fglrestful tool provided by the Genero Web Services package to obtain the necessary information. For secure web services you need to get an access token. For details, go to Get service information from secure Web service.

All the information needed to access the web service will be available in the documentation. Over time you expect the OpenAPI documentation may change as different versions of the API are developed. If operations have other versions, then it is up to the web service provider to provide clients with details of versions available and how to access them.
