MAXIMO: REST API Inbound Integration Example

The Maximo REST API provides a way to programmatically interact with Maximo data from external applications. 

This can be used for a variety of purposes, such as: Retrieving data from Maximo Updating data in Maximo Creating new records in Maximo Deleting records from Maximo.

In this blog post, I will show an example of how to use the Maximo REST API to import data into Maximo. 

Prerequisites: 

To follow this example, you will need: 

        A Maximo system with the REST API enabled 

        An external application that can make HTTP requests 

        A sample dataset to import into Maximo 

Example: 

     The following example shows how to import a sample dataset into Maximo using the REST API: 

     First, we need to create a new request object. The request object will contain the data that we want  

     to import into Maximo. 

 Code snippet

Next, we need to make a POST request to the Maximo REST API endpoint. 

e.g. The endpoint for importing data is /api/v1/import.

If the request is successful, the response will be a JSON object with the following properties:

   status: The status of the import operation. 

               Possible values are success and error. errors: 

   An array of error objects, if the import operation failed.
