Is there a way to implement a Dataminer webhook where the it listens on incoming POST requests?
As it currently stands, Dataminer’s http capabilities are designed for initiating communication rather reacting to incoming requests.
An alternate approach has been to consider the use of smart serials where the response is clipped using heading and trailing tokens (a start of message and an end of message), however this cannot be used in most cases where the source API’s raw message cannot be modified to include said tokens.
Considering above, are there any other existing techniques to allow for the implementation of a dataminer http(s) webhook?
Hi Reza,
I believe you can achieve this by using a websocket.
More information on how to implement this can be found here:
Hi Reza,
To my knowledge, there is no webhook functionality available today.
Hi Ive,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I have looked into the proposed method.
I can see that the websocket solution is meant to be used for two-way communication and for single connections. In my case, I would only require a one way (inbound) connection and multiple concurrent connections.
Is there an existing feature in Dataminer which is meant for webhooks? I found a similar question on this matter here:
