OnShape Connector

OnShape Connector

Integrating Tulip with OnShape

Introduction

Onshape's REST API allows the users to interact with Onshape having the right access set to their respective Onshape accounts. The Goal of this connector is to integrate Tulip with Onshape using HTTP Connectors & provide our customers with an out of box connector that can be imported into their instance.

Purpose

We are going to highlight different connector functions that can be built by doing HTTP calls to Onshape REST API to interact with the Onshape system to showcase various read and write actions on the Onshape that could be leveraged for various use cases.
