I don’t much about using APIs and I guess none using Schema or Hypermedia formats. Is all this possible in perspective? If so how do I start?

```auto
import coreapi

# Initialize a client & load the schema document
client = coreapi.Client()
schema = client.get("http://somedomain/api-doc/")

# Interact with the API endpoint
action = ["part", "read"]
params = {
    "id": ...,
}
result = client.action(schema, action, params=params)

```

This is as far as I have gotten

There’s no direct support for this anywhere in Ignition, and you’re definitely not going to have much luck in the HTTP binding. I’d recommend building your own abstraction layer in a script module, using `system.net.httpClient()` as a base.

Sweet, thought so. Thanks!
