TM1 Web API
In addition to using IBM® TM1® Web as a stand-alone application, you can also use it in your own custom web applications. Web programmers and TM1 application developers can use the TM1 Web application programming interface (API) to incorporate TM1 Web objects into custom web pages, applications, and dashboards.
The TM1 Web API includes two separate sets of APIs. These APIs also share a common login approach that uses session tokens or TM1 session IDs.
Depending on your specific development requirements, you can choose between the two different
APIs and use the same login approach with either one.
Note: IBM Planning Analytics on Cloud does not support the use
of TM1 Web URL API.
- TM1 Web API session login
- The TM1 Web APIs share a common login approach that uses session tokens to uniquely identify and separate your TM1 Web sessions or TM1 session IDs to uniquely identify your TM1 Server. You can use this login approach with both APIs.
- TM1 Web URL API
- The URL API provides access to Websheet and CubeViewer objects by using a special set of URLs and parameters. Simple examples can be done right in the address bar of a web browser. To create a solution with the URL API, you need knowledge of HTML and an optional knowledge of JavaScript.
- TM1 Web JavaScript Library
- The JavaScript Library enables programmatic access to TM1 Web Websheet and CubeViewer objects in a combined HTML, JavaScript, and Dojo web page development environment. To use the JavaScript Library you need knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, Dojo, and the HTML Document Object Model (DOM).
