Anyone pulling graphics through the API? We want to store performance graphics which would then be pulled to the web site.
Hi, We are not using the web api for that right now. But you could store the image url in web content for the performance. The when you make a call to get the performances or performances, you can pull the image url from the web content data which is returned in the dataset.
We do that at Yale for some of our sites. We have the image url as a content type, and it is pulled through and displayed on the website with the performance. Good luck!
Hi Gloria,
As others have suggested, the best way is probably to store the images externally and then put just a pointer or reference to them in Tessitura. But, if you really want to put the images in Tessitura itself, you could base-64 encode them so that they can be stored as plain text in a web content field. Your web site would then have to decode them before they're passed to a customer's web browser.

The API function is named GetWebContent

We build our show graphic name dynamically via the API, but store all the images online at our website. So for example we'd call our graphics 'Show_XX.jpg' and store in the production the abbreviation for the show (i.e. 'TN') Then, we'd build a graphic name that would be Show_TN.jpg for our performance page of the corresponding show.
