UiBuilder - How to use Instance API's

General
1

Hello everyone,

I am looking for some help setting up Instance APIs via uibuilder. I am using the latest version (7.5) and have followed the implementation described in the documentation( Create instance-specific API's), even replicating the examples, but I am unable to get it to work. The uibuilder.instanceApiAllowed parameter is set to true, but the response is always the same: Cannot GET /test/api/. There is nothing in the logs, and I don't know where else to look...

Does anyone have any ideas? What step have I missed? Thank you for your assistance.

I would follow the advice in the linked article:

Also note that it is best practice when using Node-RED to define API endpoints using http-in/out nodes rather than making use of this facility.

Bottom line is that Instance API's should be a facility of last resort and used sparingly.
