CygNet Scripting
CygNet Software currently supports the following Application Programming Interfaces (API). These automation libraries facilitate data retrieval, display and manipulation of the CygNet system via script:
- COM API — The CygNet COM API objects comprise several Cx* programs called automation tools or automation libraries, which provide programmatic access to CygNet services, clients, and other related entities. Most of the customer-facing COM objects are documented in the CygNet COM API topics.
- .NET API — The CygNet.API assemblies provide programmatic access to CygNet services, clients, and other related entities. Known colloquially as the CygNet.API. These assemblies also include .NET assemblies that are COM visible. Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed on the host machine when the scripts are running, in accordance with the CygNet system requirements. See CygNet .NET API for more information.
- Bridge API — CygNet Bridge API is a separately available CygNet product that provides a web service to request your CygNet data over the internet, allowing you to create your own web applications to securely access your CygNet system data. CygNet Bridge API is a REST API delivering HTTP requests and responses. The API allows reading, modifying and deleting of CygNet Point records. Accessing the CygNet Bridge API requires the installation of CygNet Bridge software, and the Bridge API feature must be selected as an option during the CygNet Bridge installation process. CygNet Bridge maintains secure data access, allowing you to access required CygNet data without direct access to a CygNet system. You can optionally require two-factor authentication to be granted access to the CygNet Bridge API. See CygNet Bridge API for more information.
Scripting can be used to customize CygNet Software installations, and to help accomplish specific advanced requirements such as complex data analysis or custom interface design. Information provided to support scripting in CygNet Software includes a set of scripting reference libraries, utilizing standard scripting conventions and examples, and the CygNet Point Script Copy utility.
See CygNet Scripting Guide for an in-depth discussion of scripting environments and creating scripts in CygNet Software.
CygNet Point Script Copy Utility
CygNet Software provides a utility for uploading and downloading scripts to and from points, and for copying scripts from point to point.
See CygNet Point Script Copy Utility for more information.
To address questions or circumstances beyond the scope of the CygNet Help, Additional CygNet Resources are available.
Training courses specific to CygNet configuration and administration are offered periodically. Contact CygNet Training for more information.
