PI Web API not available

larsoleruben Jan 21, 2014 1:19 PM

I installed the new PI WEB Api from vCampus, to try it out. However, when I navigate my browser to http://localhost:21530/api/query?callback&q=B (as we did on the course) I get a 404. I did a netstat -an |find /i "listening", turned off the PI Web API service and did it again and found the only port it is listening to is 80. And sure enough if I try http://localhost/piwebapi/help I do get the API documentation. But if I try http://localhost/api/query?callback&q=B I get a "resource not available" I suspect I need to do some configuration somewhere, but I have no Idea where. Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Lars

Hello Lars,

Port 21530 is used by the PI Search service and not PI Web API.

You are trying to access the methods from PI Search Service whose CTP was not release yet.

Please try the following link to access the help page of PI Web API and see all the methods available for this product: http://localhost/piwebapi/help.

Hope this helps you!!

  Ahhh, sorry. I am a fool.
  
  The http://localhost/piwebapi/pisystems/{myPiSystemName}/databases/ etc. Works like a dream :-)
  
  Don't know why I did not think of that.
  
  Thanks a lot for you help!

What course are you referring to? - Are there course materials with installation instructions?

    Hello,
    
    All workbooks of vCampus Live! 2013 are available for download at the vCampus Download Center under Extras category. Actually, it is a compressed file with all the workbooks from that event.
    
    Hope this helps!!
