Prerequisites

Verify Communication

Communication between the Read API and a client must be verified. Clients like Postman and Insomnia are available for download and can be used to submit requests to REST APIs like the Canary Labs Read API to validate connectivity as well are retrieve nodes, tags and data.

  1. Using the client of your choice, create a POST method to the following URL:

    https://localhost:55236/api/v2/broweNodes

  2. If the client is not running on the same machine as the Canary Labs Historian, replace localhost with the name or IP address of the machine where the historian is running. If the Port is not the default, replace 55236 with the Port noted above.

  3. For the body of the method, set it to JSON and enter the following:

    {
"apiToken":"1111",
"path":""
}

  4. Replace 1111 with the API Token noted above.

Run this to see a list of nodes under the root of the Canary Labs Historian. If this returns successfully, it means communication works to the Read API.
