Hello,

I'm trying to use the new headless WebAPI, but I'm not sure where to get started.

The release notes (http://doc.dynamicweb.com/downloads/releases/release-notes/dw-9-10-release-notes) mention that it's self documenting at yourwebsite.com/dwapi/docs. However, I get a 404 when visting /dwapi/docs on my 9.10.0 site.

I tried the walkthrough here: http://doc.dynamicweb.com/extensibility/guides/how-to-build-a-dw-spa. However, that throws an exception on the homepage, which occurs when calling /dwapi/content/areas/1. I'm getting a 404 there too. I confirmed that I still have SHOP1 with ShopAutoId=1 on this site so I assume I don't need to change the Id.

Do I need to specifically enable WebAPI somehow?

Thanks,

Scott

I recently upgraded to 9.10.0 and out of the box the /dwapi/docs was working so there is no specific setup that you should need to do.

Thanks Unnsteinn. That's what I needed to hear. With that in mind, I did more troubleshooting and I had missed bringing over the following element in the <handlers /> section in web.config during the upgrade:

      <add name="NSwag" path="dwapi" verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />

After bringing that over, I now have the the Swagger self documenting docs.

Thanks.

Scott
