BES 5 APIs

Does BES 5.0 provide any web APIs for the admin tools? (e.g. activation, erase handheld, etc.) We haven't upgraded to 5 yet.
Please use plain text.

Re: BES 5 APIs

adam9,

 

Yes, the BAS has an API that allows you to interface with the new web services.  I've only briefly experimented with it, but it opens up all kind of possibilities.  If you don't like the BAS web console, you could make your own.  I was able to follow the examples (with a few corrections) and built a simple demo that allowed me to send PIN messages to a device (this wasn't possible prior to BES 5.0 unless you sent a PIN from the BB Manager console).

 

More information and the API download can be found at: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/adminapi.jsp
