Helllo together,
there will be More and more mobile apps. So it will be more and more a requirement to have an interface from/to RSForm!Pro data.
Here are some ideas:
*first: make data submitted by an end user form available via REST WebService
*later: provide a REST WebService Interface for create, read, update, delete of data
*implement security
*implement WebService Versioning (uri starting with a version identifier)
I think this is really not a big deal and would help a lot of developers and customers.
Kind regards, Christian
We are looking at an App where the form needs to be completed over a day and submitted each evening so this APi would be perfect for this.
QuoteThat would indeed be useful when making mobile apps.
QuoteI doubt that this would be a popular use case scenario for a good portion of our RSForm!Pro users, but lets see how other users feel about this.
QuoteEx:
A voting or rating app sends the info (username, item, rating) to the rsFormPro REST WebService.
QuoteAll other user are able to get the same info (and more from other users) to their iPhones using the same REST WebService. All data come from your RSFormPro tables.
Quite simple. Is'n it?
In summary, I want to enable a user to get his data also out from the db, not only pushed into the db.
Could you perhaps provide an example on how you see RSForm!Pro integrated like this ?
