One of the standout features of Thinkwise is that many entities automatically generate an OData API, which can be used for CRUD operations and executing procedures. Although the URLs for these API calls are quite predictable, it can sometimes be a bit tricky to figure out how to trigger a task, subroutine, process flow, or a mutation on a table.

Imagine if these entities in the Software Factory had a dedicated “API” tab that detailed the necessary URLs and supported HTTP methods, all while accounting for configured permissions. It could also auto-generate a sample JSON body for tasks, updates, subroutines, etc., where optional parameters can be easily checked or unchecked. This addition would make debugging API calls significantly easier, ensuring that you have the correct URL, method, and body structure right at your fingertips.

Hey Bram,

I can recommend REST API Documentation Tool | Swagger UI. Works pretty well! 😄

Could Swagger UI be included in the Indicium package, maybe enabled/disabled with a config setting? This way you don't have to work around CORS and authentication challenges compared to running it locally or on another domain.
We rather not install extra stuff into the Thinkwise web-app if we can avoid it, this only complicates releases etc. 

It is also possible to install Swagger UI next to the Thinkwise web-app instead of in it, as long as it runs in the same domain. More information on the Thinkwise perspective on Swagger UI can be found here: 

Since there are already existing tools for this, we don't have any plans to add this to our own standard.
