I am trying to implement a connection between SAP and our maintenance software, Limble. It would be used to collect data in Ignition and pass it to both apps. They both have API's so i assume this is how i could accomplish this? I'm looking for opinions on whether scripting or the WebDev module is better for this. I am not very experienced in scripting and have never worked with HTTP coding. It seems the Webdev module could make this task easier but is it worth it for what I want to do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I don't think you need WebDev at all, since you are not exposing any service. Just some scripting on the gateway side to move data from one place to another.

Every time I have looked into using WebDev vs Scripting for a REST API, I have found that WebDev only makes sense for me is if the API is designed to setup a Pub/Sub connection.

If you are just running standard GET/POST/PUT methods, then I would recommend using scripting.
