Hello,

can API node (blue cloud) retake or incept variable or column or column attributer from previous nodes?

Not cleat what "Paramaters” are used for. No docs found.

My use case is to process group of devices with REST API calls but I need to distinguish last device in que is being processed so final API call at the end with consolidated values can be triggered. 

Thanks

 

Hi Thomas,

the basic documentation about Qapp functionality can be found here: https://www.netbraintech.com/docs/ie101/help/index.html?creating-a-qapp.htm
Internal python API docs can be found here: https://www.netbraintech.com/docs/python-api/namespaces.html
Also, for more complex topics (Qapps included) NBU is very helpful: https://nbu.netbraintech.com/#/public-dashboard

In your case, in the parameter box you can include any local variable (canvas scope - for example $this refers to the current device in loop) or global variable (Qapp wide scope - for example an input variable - https://www.netbraintech.com/docs/ie101/help/index.html?input-variables.htm)
For this exact case, to get the last device from the device queue, I believe you have to create a custom table in another canvas to which you will have to add another filed - 'last_device'. Then, pass this table to your current canvas where you can use the $last_device variable in the parameter field.

Best Regards,
Bogdan Andrus
