Connecting oXygen with REST API

[Frank Ralf]

Hi,

We want our standalone oXygen editor to communicate with an external system via a REST API. I've already had a look at the available developer resources but I'm not sure where to start. The CMS Integration Plugin seems to come quite close to our requirements.

Any pointers welcome.

Kind regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,

Could you tell us more about the interaction which would occur between Oxygen and the external system?
If you would use Oxygen to check in, check out remote resources indeed this would resemble a CMS integration procedure.
If you would just need a custom toolbar action which just looks up values on a remote server then you would need to customize the DITA framework and add a custom Author action:

Hi Radu,

Thanks for the pointer. I'll check with the external system vendor and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank
