Create Standard TagProvider via Java

Any way to create programmatically database connection and standard realtime tag providers using Java SDK?

Hi, I'm new to Ignition and its module development using Java SDK. I'm looking for a way to create programmatically a database connection identical to the connection entry I can create by GUI under Config -> Database -> Connections. There is a way to do this? I need also to create programmatically a standard realtime tag provider. I'm able to create programmatically only managed tag provider. Any suggest? Thanks A

Have there been methods added into 8.3 to programmatically create a Standard TagProvider? I see nothing in the docs.

You could create one via OpenAPI now: http://localhost:8088/openapi#tag/config-tag-provider/paths/~1data~1api~1v1~1resources~1ignition~1tag-provider/post

Thanks for the reply. This looks really promising. I’ve been playing with this via CLI but I always get a 403 Unauthorized : so something along the lines of:

curl http://localhost:8088/data/api/v1/resources/find/ignition/tag-provider/kanoa -u darren -v

will prompt for the password for darren, and then with the verbose flag I see the correct base64 encoded string and darren is an admin but still 403.

Should we be able to do this stuff from CLI? I’ve also tried making a simple HTTP GET from within the kanoa module GatewayHook but then I get a 503.

Any suggestions?

You have to use tokens, not usernames and passwords for interacting with the API. See here:
