REST API in EA

[mse]

I'm just getting started on learning REST API and was wondering if I could do something with that in EA. For example, are there ways to script some API calls from EA so I can upload a diagram or update the notes field from EA to some other repository via REST API? I started learning with some python examples and I can query get some results. Now I want to take that further and bring EA into it. Do I need to now learn the scripting capabilities?

Are you referring to the Pro Cloud Server REST API (license required), since EA provides an application interop API ?

[mse]

I was thinking of something like a script of my own from the EA scripting facility whereby one iterates through some packages and publishes changes via REST to Jama for example. I know there is a plug in, but I was exploring the possibility of doing some regular updates in the Notes or publishing diagrams in png format.

Sure, you can do REST api calls from EA scripts. They have basically the same possibilities as regular scripts outside of EA.
