As a little background, I'm looking to use the SmartObject OData API in K2 Cloud to do some processing of workflow instances. I have managed to do some basic stuff like authenticating and listing workflows and removing single items but I need to do some more complex tasks that use JSON headers with structures instead of single variables (see screenshots).

 

Is there anywhere I can get the format of the JSON that the system smartobject is expecting when posting a request to the ProcessInstance Start method for example? Or more generally how I find these for other smartobjects?

 

I can create the json for some of the more basic ones where the parameters are simple single values like "ProcInstID" e.g:

{

  "ProcInstID": 7072

}

 

However, some of them seem to want things like a ProcessInstanceInfo structure or DataFields structure which I have no idea of the format.

 

I'll attach a couple of screenshots for reference.

 

Any help would be really appreciated.

 

I'm hoping there is some form of reference to these API interfaces otherwise I'm flying blind!

Hi, John,



 



OData follows the structure of the SmartObject, so you can get some idea by looking at the reference material available here: https://help.nintex.com/en-US/k2five/userguide/5.5/default.htm#ReferenceInfo/Workflow-Reports/Workflow-Reports.htm?TocPath=Reference%2520Information%257CStandard%2520SmartObjects%2520Reference%257C_____6



 



For object serialization, you'll have to use that object's method.



 



HTH,



Mike
