Title: Create diagram using Pro-Cloud Rest-API
Post by: ea0921 on May 03, 2023, 07:41:42 pm: Hello all,

I have Pro-Cloud Server installed in my machine and I want to create diagram using Rest-API, but I am not able to find a Rest-API t create diagrams.

I wanted to know, whether pro-cloud server provides Rest-API's to create diagram? Also, if yes, then what is the Rest-API to create diagram and is there ant specific kind to license required to create diagram using Pro-Cloud Rest-API.

Thanks

Did you read up on the OSLC Architecture?
https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/16.0/the_model_repository/oslc_am_top.html

It should be possible to create diagram elements including connectors (with source and target definitions)

I personally have no experience with Creation.

This is used by the WebEA functionality.
I have found the image data but have not figured out yet how to decode it to show the diagram itself.
Or do you want to generate diagrams from objects yourself? Then it should indeed suffice to get the element information from the OSLC interface.
