Using the Chrome Developer tool to illuminate the Traverse API calls

QUESTION

How do I expose the Traverse API calls?

 

EXAMPLE - (Event Acknowledge API Call)

  1. When logged into Traverse, add '/api' to the end of the FQDN
    http://FQDN_OrIPaddress/api.jsp
    This will give you a full breakdown of all the available API calls
  2. Search for 'Event' and you will see the 'acknowledge' command
    ​
  3. Click on 'WSDL'

    Access https:/FQDN/api/soap/event?wsdl and search for 'eventAckRequest', this will give you the structure of the RQ and all possible parameters

    ​

     

    Additional info on the API call can be see by navigating to the 'Location' URL on the 3rd line of this page -

  4. To get an example of one of these RQ's the easiest way to do so is with the Chrome Developer tools. (CTRL+SHIFT+I)

    Navigate to STATUS >> Events
    Open the Chrome Developer tool. (CTRL+SHIFT+I)

    ​

    Select 'Acknowledge'

    ​

    Select the 'acknowledge' entry in the Chrome Developer tool -
    ​
  5. Switch from 'Preview' to 'Headers'. Scroll down to 'Request Payload' and click on 'view source'

​

and there you will see the actual structure of the Event Acknowledge RQ that was sent to Traverse which you can then modify as needed -
​

{"ack":true,"clear":false,"expire":0,"suppressAction":false,"eventIds":[612472]}

---------------------------------------------

The same can be done for all 3 of the Suppress Acknowledgements also

{"ack":false,"clear":true,"suppressAction":false,"expire":"0","expireForNumber":"30","expireForUnits":"minutes","expireUntilDay":23,"expireUntilMonth":9,"expireUntilYear":2020,"eventIds":[609504]}
