如何使用 SAP AIN（资产智能网络）API

Question

I have a requirement wherein I need to call few SAP AIN (Asset Intelligence Network) APIs from a web page. I have created a web page where on a click of a button, I want to call SAP AIN API - lets say to get the count of equipment that I have setup in AIN.

The API URL Provided in the SAP AIN document is:

Application_URL/services/api/v1/equipment/$count

Lets say my AIN application URL is:

https://abcxyz.dispatcher.hana.ondemand.com/sites?hc_reset#Shell-home

I tried below approaches to form API URL:

https://abcxyz.dispatcher.hana.ondemand.com/services/api/v1/equipment/$count -- Did not work

https://abcxyz.dispatcher.hana.ondemand.com/sites/services/api/v1/equipment/$count -- Did not work

https://abcxyz.dispatcher.hana.ondemand.com/sites/services/api/v1/equipment/$count?content-type=application/json -- Did not work

For all above URLs, I am getting Internal 500 error.

• So what can be the way to form SAP AIN API URL? What am I doing wrong here?
• Also how do I pass basic authentication like username and password in HttpRequest in Javascript?

Any help would be useful.

Answer 1

I got it working myself. I was using a wrong hostname of the API.

Answer 2

The correct API endpoint for equipment count is: application url + /services/api/v1/ + /equipment/$count .

The application URL looks like: https://ain.xyz.hana.ondemand.com/ain (mind the included /ain ) (see SAP AIN API tutorial ).

The full API endpoint would look like (replace xyz with your application): https://ain.xyz.hana.ondemand.com/ain/services/api/v1/equipment/$count .

See SAP AIN API reference, version 1908 for more information. You can test this also on the SAP AIN equipment API of theSAP API Business Hub for SAP AIN .
