Tired of writing documentation? Create it instead part of your DevOps experience You can use the Nodinite Web API to automate just about everything related with Nodinite like adding/modifying artifacts like an Integration to the Repository part of your DevOps routine. You can use just about any programming language to call the Rest based operations.

TIP: Use automation to get the documentation in place and up to date part of your DevOps experience

Programming language Description
Powershell
C#
Java
node-js

Powershell

You can easily use the Invoke-RestMethod to call any method in the Web API.

$nodiniteBaseUrl = "http://localhost/Nodinite/Demo/WebAPI"
$nodiniteBaseApiUrl = "$($nodiniteBaseUrl)/api"

$getResponse = ""
$url = "$($nodiniteBaseApiUrl)/integrations"
$getResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Get -UseDefaultCredentials
$getResponse.Collection.Items[0].Data.IntegrationId

Example to retrieve the first Integration Id in the list of defined Integrations

C# 

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Text;

namespace ConnectWebAPI
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (var client = new WebClient { UseDefaultCredentials = true })
            {
                client.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.ContentType, "application/json; charset=utf-8");
                byte[] responseBody = client.DownloadData("http://localhost/Nodinite/Demo/WebAPI/api/integrations");
                var jsonBody = JObject.Parse(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseBody));
                var firstIntegration = jsonBody.SelectToken("Collection.Items[0].Data.IntegrationId");
                Console.WriteLine(firstIntegration);
            }
        }
    }
}

Java

node-js 

// This example uses httpntlm (https://www.npmjs.com/package/httpntlm)
// Run: "npm install httpntlm --save" before running this script.

var httpntlm = require('httpntlm');
var url = 'http://localhost/Nodinite/Demo/WebAPI/api/integrations';

httpntlm.get({
  url: url,
  username: '{YourWindowsUsername}',
  password: '{YourWindowsPassword}'
}, function (err, res) {
  if (err) return err;

  var jsonBody = JSON.parse(res.body);
  var firstIntegration = jsonBody.Collection.Items[0].Data.IntegrationId;

  console.log(`First Integration Id: ${firstIntegration}`);
});

Your password should be protected, do use the Pre-Encrypt passsword feature in a real-world scenario
