Writing to NC files from windmill scripts

[Chris_Edgington]

I’m building some integrations for a client that will run in the windmill instance embedded in their nextcloud deployment. They are running 31.0.7. I was able to get my script to connect to a variety of external resources and extract data, but I have not yet been able to connect to NC internal resources. The windmill sample scripts on the windmill hub are not working. Can anyone provide info on how to add data from a windmill script to an existing NC file - or provide a link of up-to-date documentation?

In my attempts to make the sample scripts from the windmill hub work, I encountered a variety of errors:

Requested user does not exists: flow_app
Requested user does not exists: flow
ExApp flow request to NC validation failed.
Invalid signature for ExApp: flow and user: chrise.

Is there somewhere in the settings or some add-on that I need to run to add an appropriate ExApp ID or user?

Thanks for your time,
-Chris

Hello there ,

you started a topic in development category. This category is intended for active developers of the core or apps in the Nextcloud ecosystem.
From the description in your topic, it is not clear if you are seeking help and advice about a concrete problem you have or you want to actually develop the corresponding solution.

Please specify explicitly the required information to help you best. These are:

1. What you want to achieve
2. What you have done so far
3. What is failing
4. What you expect from the forum community

Without additional information the community members cannot help you in an efficient manner. Please keep in mind that the help here in the forum are mostly based on work of volunteers and thus it is just fair to reduce the burden on them.

If you accidentally posted in the category, just give a hint and a moderator can move the corresponding category.

Thank you for the nudge, definitely given you description it sounds like I’m in the wrong category, since I’m specifically looking for help with issues related to developing essentially “outside” of nextcloud. I looked through the categories and unfortunately, it was not clear to me what I should choose other than this one, so some help would be appreciated.

FWIW - anybody looking to do this - the KEY is using /ocs/v2.php endpoints instead of /index.php endpoints. I was able to do this via a windmill script - and got expected data back from the API:

const creds = btoa(‘username:password’);
const headers = {
headers: {
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
‘OCS-APIRequest’: ‘true’,
‘Authorization’: Basic ${creds}
},
}
const result = await fetch(‘https://myinstanceurl/ocs/v2.php/apps/files/api/v1/folder-tree?path=%2F&depth=1’,
{
method: ‘GET’,
…headers
})
