Will I be able to use an API in VBA in Ignition WebDev module? Or does the API need to be compatible with Python?
Currently, we use this VBA API in MSAccess file to make calls to an ERP system (ECI Max). Any suggestions are much appreciated.
I assume you have some kind of DLL or other library you're currently interacting with in VBA?
No, the code you write in the WebDev module, or in any other scripting area in Ignition, is Python/Jython.
I'm not super sure what library it's interacting with. It was made by our IT team ages ago.
Thank you and I guess I'll have to ask our ERP vendor for an API call in Python.
Better that you ask for an API call in Java, or you will have to run a separate Python process as middleware.
Oh ok. Thank you!
