Studio API Integration without Studio client

Dear Community

We intend to integrate Studio project creation functionality into a 3rd party application, i.e. into a Document Management thick client.

The idea is to e.g. right-click a document in the DMS client and trigger the creation of a project in GroupShare.

This would require Studio Project API functionality, thus the installation of a Studio client on each DMS client, which we would like to avoid.

However, the GroupShare REST API is at this point not powerful enough to support project creation from a 3rd party application.

On the other hand, installing a full Studio license with Project API functionality on each DMS client is not an option either.

Anyone sees any way of getting this done somehow?

Thank you

  • Hi Ziad, Remy & Romulus,

    we already built up our own web service around studio, and made positive experiences with it (as Romulus already knows).
    Today we upgraded our productive API environment to studio 2015 and it seems to work fine so far.
    However, if you perform many operations at the same time, you might run into memory problems (since studio only supports 32bit).
    So if you wanna achieve a good throughput, you also need a solution for queuing, and also consider using multiple API services with some kind of load-balancing. This is what we are currently trying to do, because we do not use Groupshare by now.

    So if you start from scratch, and already got Groupshare, it might really be best to wait for Groupshare functionality.
