Using the API to Create a New Product Name
Click To Explore
When a configuration manager registers a new product, the name of this product gets filled out automatically in the Name field when its brand, model and category are specified. The REST API for products now provides the same helpful feature.
When this API is used to create a new product, only the brand, model and category need to be specified. The API then uses these details to automatically generate a name for the product.
Here’s an example of a CURL command for creating a new product in the Xurrent CMDB:

A Note From the Road: What SPARK Taught Me About Time
During the second SPARK event in Antwerp, I stood at the back of a training room and watched a customer build a custom integration with our new iPaaS, wiring Xurrent to another system in her stack that had never talked to it before. No services rep doing it for her. No statement of work, no project plan with a kickoff and a go-live date. Just a person with live beta access in her hands, connecting two systems by hand, and finishing it before her coffee went cold. A year ago that would have been a multi-week project with a budget attached. She looked up, a little surprised it had actually worked, and said something I have not stopped thinking about since. She said it just gave her her week back.
