In the UI every view that his available has iconic action buttons to export the data shown in the view as Excel or comma-separated values report:Īlso the second marked icon shows you the SQL query that is underlying the view. By the way, JDisc Discovery only offers a secure HTTPS endpoint under Classic Data Exportīefore we delve into the new GraphQL API, let’s look how we can get discovery data out of the server and database up until now. With a GraphQL API an application has a single endpoint and the API queries are realized as JSON payload requests. ![]() Luckily there is a modern alternative API style and this is GraphQL ( ) from the GraphQL Foundation. The complexity would be overwhelming for developers. While this if perfectly fine for many applications, for a solution like JDisc Discovery with its very rich object model the REST style would mean hundreds of resources and payload schemas and complex query parameters with hundreds of pages of API documentation in order to use it. Most often application have today RESTful APIs, that follow the REST resource-oriented paradigm using the REST operations GET, PUT, POST, DELETE with URLs, query string and JSON payloads. ![]() Did you know that JDisc Discovery has a API for programmatic access of all the discovery data and functionality? In this article we want to introduce this programming interface and have a deeper look at the how to use it with various programming languages.
