Are you sure you need WebDev? WebDev is for creating APIs in Ignition for external software to call. If you need to call an API in your external software, then you can do so with scripting in any version of Ignition, no extra module required.

Share more details.

On the Ignition side, you'd use `system.net.httpClient()` to set up a connection manager, then use it to make your API calls. There are numerous examples on this forum using `httpClient`.

I have no idea how Jupyter exposes projects to APIs, if it does so at all automatically. You probably need to integrate python's [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) or a similar framework into your application.
