Import app with access to a REST API Service of Z-RECHNUNG

[Vad1mo]

Hello,
I would like to write an import app that is able to access the rest API of Z-RECHNUNG and import the structured data into the application.

For security reason BananaApp cannot access external resources.
Could you eventually tell us how do you imagine your app should works, so that what we can understand the implications and changes that would be necessary.

The BananaApp would consist of few parts

1. Config UI
2. Import preview and Splitbooking selector

The goal would be that the JS script would access the Z-RECHNUNG Rest API and fetch the JSON data and triggering result preview and after that the import.

As for now the user need do download the json/csv file manually and place it into a certain directory then trigger the import process.

So the requirement that we need is that we should be able to make HTTP REST calls out to the internet.

We want to provide the best user experience for our user in combination with his favorite book keeping software.

Do you need also to authenticate the HTTP request?

[Vad1mo]

we do OAuth or send POST requests with API keys.
This is something that the user sets in the config ui.
