I need to connect to Brightspace API with an Informatica REST V2 connection. Has anyone had success with this? Is there a swagger file for Brightspace that I could load into Informatica?
Informatica needs a Swagger file to set up the REST connection. I did use Postman to connect to the Brightspace API and used it to build the swagger file in JSON. I had to code the JSON by hand because Brightspace does not offer machine readable API documentation.
Note: This thread references the Learning Postman with Paul course article, which has been deprecated and is no longer available in the Learning Center.
Hi @Kevin.G.123 I don't have experience with Informatica, but I was wondering if it might be helpful at all to connect you with some resource on using the Brightspace API and another tool called Postman in the hopes that there my be some overlap/useful information there that makes a way forward for you. We offer a course on connecting to the Brightspace API using this Postman tool called Learn Postman with Paul. It's a free course you can access with your Community account These are a few additional article pages that I hope will be handy too https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1102-getting-started-with-brightspace-api-automation https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1196-how-to-obtain-an-oauth-2-0-refresh-token
Hi @Kevin.G.123 I apologize that I was not able to provide a Swagger file - but I'm very grateful to you for your follow up. I'd like to nominate yours as the best answer to this question and follow up with our API folks to see if we can create or provide a Swagger File template in future for others that may find themselves in the same situation.
