TechIDManager has a REST API to allow you to do more with TechIDManager, and customize it to your will. This example shows how to get the information about a tech and change a tech’s status. Documentation is available at https://chdoc.ruffiansoftware.com/swagger . If you have any questions, just let us know.
Important things about this C# example:
-
- The API Key and IP address need to be setup in the TechIDPortal.
- The manager used to run this must be a real manager. We suggest you setup a specific manager for API interaction stuff.
If you have any questions, email Support@TechIDManager.com
