solution Use Case
Production Event Management (2) – ingest production data from third-party systems (DataMiner user-definable APIs / webhooks)
This is the second use case in an 8-part series on Production Event Management. As we have seen in the previous example, administrative data to schedule productions can be entered directly via the DataMiner Jobs app HTML5 user interface. Many media organizations, however, are using third-party scheduling systems. And often, they have even developed their own in-house solutions to manage such data.
So far, DataMiner’s Web API has been the default way to send job data from a third-party scheduling system to DataMiner. There are, however, some limitations: multiple API calls are required to achieve full integration, and the level of customization is limited.
But all of this is about to change! This use case shows how easy it is to import job data from any third-party scheduling system into DataMiner using the upcoming DataMiner user-definable APIs.
Basically, any DataMiner Automation script with any logic you can imagine can be made available as RESTful API, in just a few clicks. You can design, validate and deploy your APIs at runtime; API keys are used to secure communication. (We also have a demo video available on this topic: “Ingesting jobs with user-definable API“.)
Let’s have a look at how we can create a new job with a single “HTTP POST” command.
