API Integration and Detailed Information

This section will explain the detailed information about our SDK API functions and how to integrate these into your web application.
In order to integrate our SDK API Library into your web application, first our SDK API Library files (bGateWebPrintAPI_WS.js and WS_parser.js) have to be added into your web application’s js folder and then call those files via <script> tag on your web application’s index.html file.

• Example

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

….
