Problem Statement

The nexiles.tools offers a HTTP API to Windchill.

In order to use this API, one needs to create a programme (code) which handles the HTTP communication and does all the error handling and result parsing.

There’s currently no example implementation for the client side of this API.

In order to make the API more accessible, we want to have a canonical example of an client side API implementation, and a command line tool which can be used in scripts.

Goals

• platform independent

• no dependencies on other nexiles tools packages

• very good documentation

• command line tool

Non Goals

• no customer specific logic
