Darshan Hiranandani : How can I get data from my Caspio account in a .NET application using a web service?

[darshanhiranandani]

Hi Team,

I’m working on fetching data from a table in my Caspio account for an ASP.NET (C#) project using Caspio’s web service. I have the AccountID and Password, but I need to find out how to obtain the Profile for my account, which is required to start with the sample project provided on the Caspio website.

I’ve searched extensively on the Caspio website but haven’t found the information I need. Could anyone provide suggestions on the following?

1. Finding Profile Information: How can I obtain the Profile for my Caspio account that is needed for using the web service?

2. Account Profile Retrieval: What steps should I take to find or generate the Profile required for the Caspio web service integration?

3. Caspio Credentials: Where can I find detailed instructions or documentation on how to retrieve the Profile for Caspio web services?

4. Web Service Setup: Is there a specific way to obtain the Profile in Caspio for setting up the web service in my ASP.NET project?

5. Caspio Documentation: Are there specific sections in the Caspio documentation or resources that explain how to get the Profile for web service access?

Any insights or directions on how to obtain the Profile would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Darshan Hiranandani

Hello Darshan,

The Profile should be created as mentioned here: https://howto.caspio.com/web-services-api/creating-a-web-services-api-profile/

Then you will have to use the Token endpoint and Client ID/secret to generate the tokens as mentioned here: https://howto.caspio.com/web-services-api/rest-api/authenticating-rest/

In the following post you can get an example of how to get a token to start making API calls with C#; 

The method to get records from your tables is /v2/tables/{tableName}/records. You can view all the methods documented in swagger: https://howto.caspio.com/web-services-api/rest-api/swagger-ui/
