we've already built the frontend using next.
the API we are using is actually already made.
we can just generate it directly from the software.
#Seeking node master who can guide me to connect an already made API to our web-application.

what are you stuck on right now?
if your API has been made, then well, you just have to call it
also, if you were assigned to the backend, then isn't this not really your concern? it'd be up to whoever's doing the frontend to utilize the backend's api
i don't really need this information, could you answer my questions?
analog breach
oh sorry, I have not made the server folder or the backend yet, i will yet to setup my local dev

the API we are using is actually already made.
what did you mean by this then, exactly?
analog breach
> the API we are using is actually already made.
what did you mean by this then,...
what I mean by that is, the API is up and running from another software already, my point is , is it possible to use that, for example the i will only need the values and connect to their server.
analog breach
yes a backend has been already made and its a software. called exterro FTK enterprise
novel lake
so you have an external API, that you need to make a wrapper for, for your own application?
analog breach
our client wants us to use the softwares API and integrate that into our own web app
novel lake
why not just call that API directly from your frontend?
analog breach
hmm, but we will also require to authenticate the user, create own custom loggin using nextauth
novel lake
which part is the requirement here? both, or just the former?
does the external API have authentication?
analog breach
yes they have authentication, where they are required to login with their administrative accounts example their admin windows account.
not a thid party where they can use oauth
or register.
novel lake
yes they have authentication, where they are required to login with their admini...
why not just use that auth then?
analog breach
this kind of confuse me so, you mean no backend related will be happening nor a database.
that i will be creating?
anyways this is a valuable information, i will comeback here and provide a much more detailed description, after our meeting we will have to ask the full description
thank you sir
novel lake
my point is that it doesn't sound like you really need a separate backend
analog breach
hello sir
https://localhost:4443/api/v2/enterpriseapi/core/createcase
this API will only work on my machine if if the software is running only. and this is the already-made API that I am talking about
i followed the documentation but couldnt seem to POST

consider using http for localhost testing
