Hi,

I am not sure if i have worded this correctly.

I usually connect to sites and get data from or send data to them using httpclient.

However in this case i need a client to connect to my Powerbuilder application / system, so it can pick up information from me.

Can anyone help ?

regards and thank in advance

Hi Andrew;

In that case, you would use the SnapDevelop tool that comes with the PB IDE installation to create a Restful based C# Web API that you can then run on your App's machine (or a related local server) that the external Web API's can then call back (ie: by sending them the URL of your WebAPI). Food for thought. HTH

FYI: https://docs.appeon.com/snapdevelop2022/Create_a_Web_API/index.html

Regards ... Chris
