Connection to Quantify API

[dsharp]

I have a SQL database server that has a Quantify DB on it. It also has the Quantify client installed on the server in order to access the DB.

1. What additional items are needed web service wise to be installed in order to call/access the API?
2. What permissions are required to access the API.
3. What is the default location to call the API - Example: https://servername/Quantify/API

Hi, dsharp.

The recommended setup to connect to and work with Quantify API is to have the Quantify Client installed and working (be able to login) on the same machine as Visual Studio 2022 (admin mode) that would be used to write code and debug. Quantify, in remote mode, has the service located as part of Quantify Web URL, for e.g. https://www.quantify-web-url.com/wcfportal.svc. The User Role needed for API access depends on the action that API needs to perform. This Role-Permission may be setup using Quantify Client. Let us know if you have further questions. You may take a look at the below posts to help get started.

Does Quantify have RestAPI available? I see a response from two years ago that it needs to be built as a wrapper to the top of the .net DLLs. Has anything progressed in that direction, or is it still the same answer?

Integrating quantify database with Power Automate through HTTP/REST API

Hello, We are looking to connect quantify database with Power Automate to pull the projects table and product catalogue tables data from the API but couldn’t find any example/documentation here. Could you please provide some examples how to connect to quantify database through HTTP/REST API with authentication type and endpoints to the tables, examples with swagger-file or postman illustration would helps us a lot to replicate the same in Power Automate. Looking forward your response and appr…

Is it possible to use the quantify web version in order to facilitate this instead of using the client dll files? Each time the client version is updated we’d then have to take new dlls and then get them to work with this integration which could break things. If we were able to use the web version we could possible use it to push and pull data.

Thoughts?

Hi, dsharp.

It is recommended to use the DLLs due to the custom serializer.

Another question, since we have multiple Quantify servers what is needed in order to call which specific server to connect to? Essentially if we had 1 web server with multiple sites and would need to tell it which to point to. What’s the best way to accomplish this?

Hi, dsharp.

Essentially Quantify looks at the WCF URL (like https://quantify-web-url/wcfportal.svc) for connection. For multiple sites, multiple instances of Quantify Web with distinct URLs may be setup/installed on the same server.
