Web API Test Sandbox Released on ReportingCloud Portal
The ReportingCloud portal includes a Web API Test Sandbox for running endpoint calls against your own account data and template storage without affecting document quota. Each endpoint in the Web API reference documentation provides a direct launch button to open the sandbox.
We just released a Web API Test Sandbox at the ReportingCloud portal. This sandbox can be used to test Web API calls with your account data and your template storage (so not a completely isolated sandbox per definition) that doesn't count against your document quota.
The following screenshot shows the sandbox in action for the merge endpoint:
The overview page also lists some sample Web API calls and in the Web API Endpoint Reference, each endpoint description shows a button to launch the test sandbox for that endpoint:
Happy coding!
Cloud
Are we moving to the cloud? This question is changing from "if" to "when" and "how". Text Control ReportingCloud brings complete reporting functionality to the cloud so all developers can use it, irrespective of the platform or language they're using. Its highly RESTful API can be used to merge Microsoft Word compatible templates with JSON data from all clients including .NET, Javascript, PHP, Node.JS, jQuery, Ruby, Python, Android, Java and iOS.
