Trigger API from outside

[Anonymous]

Hi,

is it possible to address the API from outside Fusion 360, like via the command line or an external python script?

Sorry for the newbie question!

Hello,

Unfortunately out-of-process API is supported yet. It means you cannot call the API directly outside Fusion 360 process.

Instead you can probably add an addin to Fusion 360 and let it talk to your app to receive/send data and then call into API by the addin. An example is like as below:

Thanks,

You can open (or insert) a file via an url, and write a script that triggers when files are opent via an URL. Read the paragraph "Private info" for further details. It made me achieve this goal.
