Using web api calls from within VB.NET

Hi, sam or Wyatt

There are some functions which are nor include in the Turboactivate object in VB.NET. I have read in a post about the following where you refer to website for sending a POST request. Does that mean that i can use the web API functions and there results by doing a POST request? There are certain functions i would like to use from within my VB.NET app which are not included in the Turboactivate object. I know that maybe there is a reason for not including these function in the Turboactivate object but still i like to know if that is possible.

Re: Generating Product Keys from VBA by Sam October 28th, 2014, 1:03 pmIs it possible to remotely generate product keys using the API?

Yes: http://wyday.com/limelm/help/api/limelm.pkey.generate/

3. I then run a script (VBA macro) that generates the key and automatically generates an email response. After that, all I have to do is press send.

You'll have to POST a request from your VBA script to our web API.

We don't recommend calling any web API function directly from your app. Why? Because you'd have to include the API Key inside your app. The API key is like a password to your account.

So, instead write a script on your website that does whatever you want, then pass whatever information you want to that script on your website. This way the API key is never included in an assembly that's distributed to your end-users.

If you tell me more about what you're trying to accomplish then I'll be able to give you better help.
