Remote services retrieve objects with a tag - rocfusion - 06.03.2019

Hi,

Is there a way to use remote services to retrieve a list of the objects checked with the export box that have a specific tag? Currently it just returns all the objects with export checked.

So you would use something like, http://192.168.1.10/scada-remote?m=json&r=objects&tags=mytag

Could this be added?

Thanks,

Roger

Hi,

What you could do is create a .lp to do the request like this (run once to create the .lp in the user folder) and a request with http://192.168.0.10/user/request.lp?tag=yourtag and you will get a JSON response back with the objects that has the requested tag.

Code:
-- use this path for request: http://192.168.0.10/user/request.lp?tag=yourtag

dst = '/www/user/request.lp'
io.writefile(dst, [[
<?
  require('apps')
  require('socket.url')
  tagname = socket.url.unescape(getvar('tag') or 'nothing')
  if tagname ~= 'nothing' then
    response = grp.tag(tagname)
    response = json.encode(response)
    print(response)
   end
?>
]])
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

BR,

Erwin

Hi Erwin,

Thank you. That works, I have revised your script so I just return the object name and its value which is all I need. In case someone would find this useful the revised code is.

Code:
dst = '/www/user/request.lp'
io.writefile(dst, [[
<?
  require('apps')
  require('socket.url')
  tagname = socket.url.unescape(getvar('tag') or 'nothing')
  if tagname ~= 'nothing' then
    local fb={}
    response = grp.tag(tagname)
    for index,value in ipairs(response) do
      local tmp = { n=response[index].name, v=response[index].value }
      fb[index] = tmp
    end
    response = json.encode(fb)
    print(response)
   end
?>
]])
script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)

Thx

Roger
