Examples of code for calling a connector

These examples have been created with Windows PowerShell. AFAS does not provide support for this part. In the call, the token must be converted to a base64 string.

To call a GetConnector:

$token = '<token><version>1</version><data>0E6824699F40129E254DB96441233E32F13454355184E5A24F8E3C0DFA4F</data></token>'

$encodedToken = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($token))

$authValue = "AfasToken $encodedToken"

$Headers = @{

Authorization = $authValue

}

$url = 'https://server.domain.nl/Profitrestservices/connectors/Profit_Article'

$file = '\\yourserver\volume\folder\Getconnector.json'

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $file -Headers $Headers

To retrieve meta info:

$token = '<token><version>1</version><data>0E6824612043AA9E254DB961223DD33E32F14943D93184E5A234553C0DFA4F</data></token>'

$encodedToken = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($token))

$authValue = "AfasToken $encodedToken"

$Headers = @{

Authorization = $authValue

}

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://[webserver.com]/Profitrestservices//metainfo' -Headers $Headers
